Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Our README.md contains a link with a utm_source that is set to wordpress.org. However, this information is incorrect if the link gets clicked from within GitHub for example.

Describe the solution you'd like

Default the utm_source to github.com, and update it to wordpress.org during the release automated workflow. This way, links will be correct in both the wp-parsely repo and https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-parsely/.

Additional context

Proposed here by @GaryJones.

Could make this utm_source dynamic - have it say github.com by default, but just before it's pushed to WPORG, do a replacement to make it say wordpress.org.

Research direction

Start with README.md to find the link whose utm_source is wordpress.org, then locate the release automated workflow that publishes to WordPress.org. Set the repository link to github.com and have the release process replace it with wordpress.org before publication; verify both README and release output contain the intended source.
