To encourage contributors to make changes to the main website, add a footer link to every page which links to the corresponding source file in git. With gitlab, they are able to edit content directly in the web browser and then submit a merge request.
Should this patch wait until we switch to merge requests for libvirt? (Also, for repositories where I can push directly, the text about opening a merge request is not present and pressing 'submit changes' pushes a commit to master right away - can notifications be set for push events too? I don't seem to be getting any, despite setting 'watch' for the libvirt project)
This gives a way to contribute
content that is arguably easier than our wiki which requires manual
account creation, while this will also benefit from maintainer review.

Consider s/blob/edit/ to go directly to the editing page, at the cost of showing the gitlab login page instead of the source file to users who aren't logged in. Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko <jto...@redhat.com> Jano
