Comment:

 Actually, I contend that the link in question ("Block Editor Handbook" in
 the blue site title bar) should be re-titled as "Developer Resources".

 That location on any other WordPress.org property is reserved for the
 site's name linked to the root of the site. The link for !DevHub handbooks
 already goes to the root of the site, but the text is changed to reflect
 the name of the current handbook. This is inconsistent with the rest of
 wordpress.org (the text should be the site's name) and is locally
 confusing (if it's the handbook name, one would expect the link to take
 you to the front page of the handbook).

 What I propose instead is that the handbooks on !DevHub adopt a handbook
 linking approach as used on a multi-handbook site such as Make/Community.
 As an example, see [https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook
 /community-deputy/meetup-tracker/ this handbook page] in the
 Make/Community's Community Deputy Handbook. At the top of each handbook
 page, you'll see the handbook name with a link to the handbook's homepage.

 (Note that there are already 2 existing links to the handbook front page:
 the first link in the sidebar and the handbook's name in the breadcrumb
 navigation.)

 This change would need to apply to all sections of !DevHub and not just
 handbooks. (Currently the non-handbook sections '''''do''''' change the
 link to go to the root of their section instead of linking to the !DevHub
 homepage.)
