CCing [[User:Salvatore Ingala]] since his GSoC 2011 proposal[1] focus on
customization of gadgets and user scripts and the the present bug could be
considered in that escope because the "visibility of a gadget in the
preferences" is an aspect which needs to be customized depending on the gadget.
E.g.: tool developers may want some gadgets to be displayed/hidden depending on
a logical combination of user rights, such as
 (rollback AND delete) OR (patrol AND markbotedits)
Besides, in addition to the idea of "newbie gadgets" mentioned at
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13742#c15
some gadgets which are specifically focused on experienced editors should not
clutter the interface seen by newbie users. So, in this case an admin could
want to hide a gadget unless the user is
 (NOT autoconfirmed)
an so on. The extension could provide a field where developers could enter a
boolean expression involving the rights needed in order to specify the
visibility of the gadget. The current implementation only allow a specific
subset of this, namely: (right1 AND right2 AND ... AND rightN).
