(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

These manuals still seem to be missing <title>s.  And texi2html has been
superseded by texi2any, which should be adding <title> elements
according to:

https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/HTML-Customization-Variables.html

Anybody know who's responsible for generating the HTML manuals?
