I noticed that different applications have different tabs in the Help > 
About X info box. For instance: Dolphin has "About", "Components, 
"Authors", while Kate has those plus "Thanks To".

Could it be worth adding a "Sustainabaility" / "Eco" tab? This would be 
a place to include information about Blue Angel eco-certification and 
other energy measurements, or aspects of the software which make it more 
sustainable (runs on older hardware, freedom from advertising, etc.)?

I think this idea fits well with the sustainability goal, in particular 
"highlighting where our software is already sustainably designed".

What do you think?

Cheers,
