Add government organisation disclosure log links

[WilliamWDTK]

Where an authority has a home page URL of the format https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/XXX, set the disclosure log (if empty) to https://www.gov.uk/search/transparency-and-freedom-of-information-releases?content_store_document_type=foi_release&organisations%5B%5D=XXX.

I'm pretty certain this should work.

I did ponder if there'd be a benefit to doing this before.

However, anecdotal evidence suggests that many of these logs on gov.uk aren't kept up-to-date (for example: DCMS last updated theirs in 2017, and DVLA's one hasn't been changed since 2016). The Cabinet Office's version is notable, as they manage a 6 year gap between 2015 and 2021 - with only one entry in that period.

Notably, many organisations don't use it at all (for example: the CMA, and RAIB) - which is poor.

If there's minimal effort required though, it might not be a bad idea.

I was just thinking this earlier when looking for an address to write to the CMA. Is there a directory of what bodies this would cover?
