Describe the bug
When I visit https://wordpress.org/documentation/, the menu includes "Get Involved" which adds to an already large hard-to-read menu and doesn't promote an end-user use-case.

We should remove it from the menu.

I understand that maintaining these docs is labor intensive and we need as much help as possible, however, wp.org needs a better holistic approach for seeking contributions and this link isn't working.

I doubled checked this assumption by looking at GA from Jan 2023 - Sept 2023. Only a miniscule percent of people ended up on the desired make.wordpress.org/docs page from the following landing pages:

Page Percent of Traffic
/documentation 0.02%
/documentation/article/faq-troubleshooting/ 0.00% (4 sessions)

In addition to your point, the information architecture map made aimed to make navigation consistent across the site and all links that don't take users to self section's deeper pages should be place out of this component.

With that in mind, this link could be easily placed in the "Get more help" section at the end of the page. It will be visible in every page and will not confuse users by taking them to a different section of the site.

What do you think of this @estelaris? It would look like this.

@fcoveram yes, let's remove it from the subnav. I'll add the description paragraph to Figma.

Can we close this ticket now?
