 == Add a "Contribute" tab to the about page
 === Description
 The path to find out how to contribute is several levels deep in WordPress
 itself. Right now, you have to click on the W icon, then About WordPress,
 then the Credits tab, and then scroll down to the bottom of that page to
 see a micro link in the footer: Want to see your name in lights on this
 page? Get involved in WordPress.
 Also, only Core Contributors are on this list so it gives a false promise
 of being listed on this page if you contribute which is not the case.
 We discussed adding a link in #wordpress-sfd and everyone thought this
 would be a good idea so that more people could find out how to get started
 in contribution.
 I am new to creating tickets so please let me know if there is any other
 information you need!
