[theme-reviewers] Are "page templates" allowed ?

[emin ozlem]

How about a contact page that presents the contact information that is
saved in theme options ? You know address, email, phone and google map for
location.
I know bundling plugins with theme is prohibited. But i guess it's okay to
recommend "if you install contact 7 form plugin it will appear on the
contact page" ?
