Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/de/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

In German, we use two forms: informal (du, ich, er etc) and formal (Ihnen, Sie, Ihrem etc). In the GitHub article about the contributions, both forms are used, making the article difficult to understand. For example:

Issues, Pull Requests und Diskussionen werden in deinem Beteiligungsdiagramm angezeigt, sofern sie in einem eigenständigen Repository und nicht in einem Fork geöffnet wurden.

GitHub beschränkt die Anzahl dieser Elemente beim Anzeigen des Beitragsdiagramms. Wenn Sie das Limit erreicht haben, zeigt das Beitragsdiagramm möglicherweise nicht alle Beiträge an.

Commits

The docs should be changed to provide a clearer understanding and a better tone to german-speaking users and not cause confusion across the community.

The expected outcome would be to change the text to use only one form, formal or informal to help german-speaking users.
