 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
