While I am checking privacy page ( https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/ )
of wordpress.org, found that email id does not have mailto, An email
address should be linked using the “mailto” protocol [[mailto]] with
prefilled “to” and “subject” fields.
The absence of a "mailto" link for an email address can indeed pose
cognitive accessibility challenges for users.
For users with cognitive disabilities, navigating through tasks can be
more challenging. A clickable "mailto" link reduces cognitive load by
simplifying the process of initiating an email. Manually copying and
pasting an email address can introduce errors.
Users relying on assistive technologies such as screen readers benefit
from clickable
"mailto" links because these links are typically recognized and handled
appropriately by assistive tools.
They provide a direct method for initiating email communication without
requiring complex navigation or additional steps
Please let me know how can i add the patch for this not getting any repo
for this
