 Follow up of #50052.

 The current email notifying the site admin of automatic plugin and/or
 theme updates feels incomplete and could use some more context.

 My two main concerns are:
 - It's not clear if any action is required by the site owner.
 - It's not clear where the site lives (no link is included in the email
 body).

 The current email when plugins and themes successfully auto-update is as
 follows:

 > The following plugins were successfully updated:
 > - Hello Dolly
 >
 > The following themes were successfully updated:
 > - Twenty Twenty
 >
 >
 > If you experience any issues or need support, the volunteers in the
 WordPress.org support forums may be able to help.
 > https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
 >
 > The WordPress Team


 I am suggesting it gets updated to something like the following:


 > Howdy! Some plugins and/or themes have been updated automatically to new
 versions on your site at https://site.com. No further action is needed on
 your part!
 >
 > The following plugins were successfully updated:
 > - Hello Dolly
 > To manage plugins on your site, visit the Plugins page: https://site.com
 /wp-admin/plugins.php
 >
 > The following themes were successfully updated:
 > - Twenty Twenty
 > To manage themes on your site, visit the Themes page: https://site.com
 /wp-admin/themes.php
 >
 > If you experience any issues or need support, the volunteers in the
 WordPress.org support forums may be able to help.
