Description

Since these are only "guidelines" I think we should recommend (**strongly**) that people populate their profiles on social media and sites like GitHub.

It looks really bad when someone is 'blogs22' with no profile picture or description.

Contributor guide

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by locating the guideline section covering contributor identity or online profiles. Update it to strongly recommend a profile picture and description on social media and open-source sites such as GitHub, then verify the wording fits the surrounding guidance.
