Description
A "recommended plugins" input has recently been included so themers can mention plugins that work well with the created theme, however, this is only added to the readme.txt file and isn't visible anywhere else. Many other themes recommend plugins via a banner on the /themes wp-admin page. Here is an example of how Astra does it:
We could consider doing something similar for created themes. I guess it would involve creating and adding a functions.php file with the relevant code.
Or is there another way we could make the recommended plugins information more visible to end users?

Review the existing recommended plugins entry in readme.txt and how created themes use functions.php, then compare the proposed banner location on the /themes wp-admin page with the Astra example. Done means the recommended plugins information is made visible to end users through an agreed implementation.
