#5593: Contributor badges don't make your profile "public"

 As part of the changes in [dotorg15369], the Bio section on WP.org
 profiles is not displayed publicly when either of these conditions is
 true:
 * User is banned
 * User has no activity

 The problem is that not all activity is currently reflected as such in
 profiles: submitting patches, GitHub PRs, translations will eventually get
 you a contributor badge, but not an activity entry. See #1664 or #5592 for
 example.

 So a user can have a Core Contributor or Translator Contributor badge, but
 their Bio section is still not displayed publicly until they have at least
 one activity entry.

 This seems wrong, as it implies that some activities are more "real" than
 others. Contributors should not be forced to a particular activity just
 for their profile to be public.
