The button linked to an anchor on the Contributing page that no longer exists. It now opens the Package request form on RoboStack/robostack, prefilled with the package and the distro page it came from, so robostack-bot opens the pull request. Deprecated and end-of-life distros don't get the button anymore, because nothing builds them. The label now hides once the table is narrower than its full width, instead of at a fixed 1400px viewport.

Summary
The Add to channel button on the package lists linked to
/Contributing.html#adding-new-packages-via-pull-requests, an anchor that's gone since Contributing moved to the monorepo.It now opens the Package request form on RoboStack/robostack, filled in for that package, and robostack-bot opens the pull request:
Only Humble, Jazzy, Lyrical and Rolling get the button now.
RoboStack doesn't build Kilted, Galactic, Foxy and Noetic anymore, so a request there would go nowhere.
The label also hides at a different moment.
It used to drop to just the icon below a 1400px window, while the table is already full width from about 1127px.
It now follows the table's own width, so a full-width table keeps the text.
Closes #173
Evidence
After: on Jazzy and Lyrical every button links to the form with the fields above, Kilted shows none.
After: the label stays until the window is 1127px, where the table starts to shrink.
Merge Danger
Door: two-way
Blast Radius: small
Only the package tables change.
If GitHub ever drops a prefilled field, the requester types the package name themselves.
