This has been fixed at Nov 4 2022 with
https://github.com/apache/avro/commit/1834742813715a8d30aa38194481437174ed7776
but there was no new release of Avro and thus no new site update since then.

Your images didn't make it but I guess you talk about
https://github.com/apache/avro/commit/4359e1915d615ede3203f0b7479ea041b28b6cb2

I guess this is also something that has been already fixed because I cannot
find contribution-guidelines in community -
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/avro/master/doc/content/en/community/_index.md
The docs are here -
https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/doc/content/en/project/How%20to%20contribute/_index.md
