    This has been suggested before, but I cannot find an issue for it.

    I think we should include a link to this repository in various places. At least:

    • The "About" dialog in the GUI [done in #8207]
    • A README that comes with release tarballs (see #8160)

    This makes it easier to find the source code for potential contributors, as well as avoids awkward questions like #8157.
