ACK; got the attached at the tip of my emacs-30 branch, and my finger
over the 'git push' button.  Let me know if it's time to 'C-x v P'.
(And mark this bug "done", since I believe this was the last loose end?)

(Prefer asking since I let a week fly by, on the off chance that the
release branch might have reached a "hands off ✋" stage)
