New description:

 Hiding profiles without 'Activity' content from search engines is part of
 a broader approach to 'solving' spam profiles on wordpress.org. See
 https://www.jonoalderson.com/wordpress/wordpress-org-toxic-profile-spam/
 for long-form research and rationale.

 Specifically, we should add a meta robots tag with a `noindex, follow`
 value to any profile which has no 'Activity' content (and to any
 associated profile pages; e.g., in the
 https://wordpress.org/support/users/ section).
