I have committed this change, crediting you as the author.
The change will be on the website after the next rebuild.

Contributing to Debian documentation is a great way to start in Debian.
We have a lot of documentation that needs help. The website and the
wiki are the primary stores of documentation. There are also lots of
self-contained manuals and guides.

https://www.debian.org/intro/help#documenting
https://www.debian.org/doc/

The Debian Documentation Team are the primary team for discussion and
maintenance of Debian documentation, please join their mailing list:

https://www.debian.org/doc/ddp
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DDP

For the wiki, feel free to read our guide for wiki editors, register an
account and edit pages as you see fit. I've pre-approved your email for
an account.

For a guide about contributing to the website, please see these pages:

You'll need a Salsa account to send merge requests, or you could send
git patches to the Debian bug tracker or this mailing list.

You might also like to join the debian-l10n-english mailing list to
help people write grammatically correct English.

PS: in case you are interested in paid work on documentation for open
source projects, take a look at Google Season of Docs:

The Debian RPi team would welcome help with building and testing the
images that they are producing:
