Add noodp meta robots tag

Description

We should add the following to basically every page on WordPress.org and maybe other sites too:

<meta name="robots" content="noodp">

This will prevent Google from using the description in the Open Directory project for the page and instead grab the description of the current page. The only "problem" is that when we have more robots things we need to add, like for instance a noindex tag because of #1010, those should be merged as follows:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,noodp">

Just curious, as I'd love to help on this one. What repo would I even look to for creating these changes? When you say "every page on WordPress.org", where is this source code publicly available to create a diff?

  • Keywords good-first-bug removed

Most of WordPress.org is still closed source, so this probably isn't a good-first-bug after all.

  • Keywords needs-patch removed

Removing 'needs-patch' from components that are not open sourced yet, to help focus on tickets that actually need a patch.
