Do you by chance know of some way I can contribute directly to the
development of hydra.gnu.org web site?

If there is at least a way to make a copy of the web pages, I can try
making a LibreJS-compliant version of them --- the only thing needed
would be some server to test them if they need a server-side language or
CGI/FastCGI application.

I noticed that the site seens to be based on NixOS's Hydra. If you want,
I can do customization based on NixOS's instead. Just say the word. ;)
