SUMMARY
I think it would be useful if KDE Apps' "About" section had a link to their respective repository on KDE Invent. Currently most (all?) KDE apps link to their respective kde.org pages, which most or all have a link to "Browse Source Code". However, a more direct link to the repository would go a long way imo. A direct link to the source would put it to the forefront of users who are looking for it, instead of relegating it to a link in a sidebar on the application page where it could get lost. I actually didn't even know there was a repo link on those kde.org pages until very recently! 

It may not benefit a lot of users, but for users who want to directly browse or maybe even contribute, it would be a nice gesture.

OBSERVED RESULT
KDE apps' "About" dialogs do not directly link to the GitLab repository.

EXPECTED RESULT
KDE apps should link directly to the GitLab repository, to encourage merge requests and collaborative development.
