Comment (by davidmusnik):

 Hello people,

 I have been investigating this issue during the contributing day organized
 by WPFR in Paris on April 20th, 2023.  ''For the record, this is the first
 time the person writing this comment is participating to such an event''.

 Adding a contribute option should involve several modifications :


 **1- wp-admin/about.php**

 This first modification creates a new element in an array as well as a new
 file which might be named « contribute.php », in line with the other
 options such as «about», «credits», «freedoms» and «privacy».  More
 precisely:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 <nav class="about__header-navigation nav-tab-wrapper wp-clearfix" aria-
 label="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Secondary menu' ); ?>">
         <a href="about.php" class="nav-tab nav-tab-active" aria-
 current="page"><?php _e( 'What’s New' ); ?></a>
         <a href="credits.php" class="nav-tab"><?php _e( 'Credits' );
 ?></a>
         <a href="freedoms.php" class="nav-tab"><?php _e( 'Freedoms' );
 ?></a>
         <a href="privacy.php" class="nav-tab"><?php _e( 'Privacy' );
 ?></a>
         <a href="contribute.php" class="nav-tab"><?php _e( 'Contribute' );
 ?></a>
 </nav>

 }}}


 In addition to this change, all other PHP files which display the
 secondary menu, say « about.php », « credits.php », « freedoms.php » and «
 privacy.php » should also be modified to include this new contribute entry
 in that very secondary menu.


 **1.1- wp-admin/contribute.php**

 This new file, heavyly country dependant,  requires further design in line
 with the other {«about», «credits», «freedoms» and «privacy»} internal
 pages already in place.




 **2- wp-includes/admin-bar.php**

 This modification involves the creation of a new node in an existing one
 as listed below.  Obviously, the href element of the code should be
 localized according to the country under considération.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $wp_admin_bar->add_node(
         array(
         'parent' => 'wp-logo-external',
         'id'     => 'Contribute',
         'title'  => __( 'Contribute' ),
         'href'   => __( 'https://wordpress.org/support/article
 /contributing-to-wordpress/' ),
                 )
         );
 }}}
