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...
