Ah, I see.  I'll check the maintainers' manual for more information
about that.

Cheers!  Good call on the footer, I didn't even notice that. :-)

I went ahead and applied the second version of your second patch as well
Thérèse.  But then ended up playing around with things and tweaking it,
in part to fix a vertical alignment issue and slightly simplify things,
and ended up adding the following changes (see attached), which are now
visible on <https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/gnuzilla.html>.

My best,
amin
