I do not quite understand this change. Where are we getting that longer and less clear version? The text in our source (both 'maint' and also 'seen') has [[getting-help]] === Getting Help If you get stuck, you can seek help in the following places. and the above text has not changed since it was written in 4bb4fd42 (MyFirstContribution: add avenues for getting help, 2020-01-24). So there is nothing to "make it shorter" there. Is "you can ask for help" materially better than "you can seek help"? As a non-native speaker, I cannot quite tell. Both are equally understandable to me, so I see nothing to "make it clearer" there, either. Puzzled...
