Description
Here's an example of metadata I have for one database on datasette.
"Records-requests": {
"tables": {
"Some table": {
"about": "This table has data."
}
}
}
The text in about does not show up when I publish the data. But it shows up after I add a "source" parameter in the metadata.
Is this intended?

The issue names no files or tests. Reproduce the metadata example in Datasette, then trace where table metadata is rendered and compare behavior with and without the source parameter; done means determining whether a standalone about value should appear and verifying the resulting behavior.
