Technically it wasn't a tab, that was just the 'UI' that was used on 
those three pages. We currently, as far as I can tell, no longer have a 
page to point to for people who want to contribute in some way; there 
are only the 'sponsor' and 'donate' pages, which isn't all types of 
contribution mentioned on the old page.

I have been pointing to it from the Jaybird release notes for the past 
few years, and now it gets you nowhere near its intended goal. Can it be 
reinstated in some way, and otherwise be made to redirect to 
http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/community/ as that seems to be a better 
page than the main page for this goal.
