This log message lacks the ChangeLog-style list of functions that are
being changes, with short descriptions of the changes in each one.
(Same problem with the second patch.)

Also, please leave 2 spaces between sentences.

> -           (path (car (url-path-and-query obj)))
> +           (path (string-remove-suffix "/" (car (url-path-and-query obj))))

Please use directory-file-name here instead of string-remove-suffix.

Btw, isn't it better to remove all the leading directories, leaving
just the last component (a.k.a. the "basename")?

> * lisp/net/eww.el (eww-download)
> * doc/misc/eww.texi (Basics)

This should tell what was changed in each function/node.  See
CONTRIBUTE, and the examples in the ChangeLog files in the tree.

> +the current page. The file will be written to the directory specified
                   ^^
Two spaces between sentences, please.

> +in @code{eww-download-directory} (Default: @file{~/Downloads/}).

The "Default" part should not be capitalized (it's not a separate
sentence).

Thanks.
