Description
I'd like to see the 'Latest Videos' and 'Popular Videos' headings on the front page made into links to index/archive pages.
When I haven't visited WordPress.tv in a while it would be useful to be able to click on the 'Latest Videos' heading to see all videos posted since my last visit, and likewise for popular videos.

@dgwyer thanks for this awesome and totally spot on suggestion. I agree completely that such an addition to the home page would be super cool.
Turns out there's a reason those two sections don't have view more links. It's because those are not based on something that already has an archive which we can link to. Latests posts just uses the main query on the home page because that is set to be the page which displays posts. There is no other defined page we can link to which lists posts in chronological order at this time.
Popular posts is based on a meta value and those don't have archives the way categories do.
So this can still be easily resolved, we'll just have to make a couple modifications to the theme and to the settings.
So a few steps but they're all really simple. If someone wants to tackle this, by all means, go for it! And if you need help, DM me or ask here. If no one takes it, I'll get to it eventually.
