Sure, I’ll email the sysadmins as suggested and see what they think.

In the meantime, I’ve changed the code that generates HTML to insert
newlines; revision 1.294 of this file that I just committed is more

Feel free to remove history for that file if it’s possible!

My mistake: nongnu.org releases are uploaded over scp, but web pages are
uploaded over CVS as for gnu.org:

  https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HomepageUpload/
  https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/DownloadArea/
