Expose Source Repository Link on Orb Page

From an Orb page, such as circleci/node, there are no references to the Orb's source repository on GitHub (or other SCM platform). As a result, it's very difficult for enhancement requests, or bug reports, to be filed by users of the Orb.

If you mean, similar to the description
 field, then that would be my preference.
It would be easier for me to keep the repository URL in-sync with the repository's location if the information was stored within
 the repository.

This is a planned feature - we are looking at adding a home_url field, either as part of the orb metadata or in orb source. Would having it be available in orb source and then rendered in the registry be sufficient?
