Or I am always a fan of putting a checkbox in the project's Settings page "show 'download source code' link" and a text box underneath it with "source code download label", enabling the project to use language they are happy with

That said, I am also cognizant that "checkbox overload" is a real thing, so merely "for your consideration"

We're indeed pretty hesitant to add options for these things, it makes it harder to refactor the UI if you have to account for all settings.
