Not quite sure I see why it should be on the protocol mappers screen. As
it's a separate type of mapper as well the UI to define them would be
different I'm not sure I see why it can't be a separate screen.

I think it would fit better on the scope tab. It could have two tabs
"Default scope" and "Scopes" or something like that.

Sounds good

SAML doesn't have this concept does it? If so it probably doesn't even make
sense to show scope mappers for SAML clients.
