The menu entry leads to http://xarchiver.xfce.org/contribute.html
and that page is about how to contribute. So we both agree it should be
"Contribute".

The main problem is the bad naming of the menu(item). The menu is named
"Thanks to" and the item is named "Your name and website here", which is
kind of a working title I guess.

There also ist a "Donate" button on the bottom of that page but most of
it is about participation.

Actually rc1 crashes when extracting files :( Will file a bug with
debuginfo attached.

+1. A menu for only one item is overkill and bad design.
