Yes. Except, you've now switched back to gdb-cvs, and that's not the
right repository.

Do we want a maintainer for the web pages right now? A serious
question.

With the recent changes to MAINTAINERS, if there is one, then that
individual needs to review all web page patches, and be interested in
taking general care of the web pages. If there isn't one, any global
maintainer can make changes to the web pages. I have the feeling that
distributing the responsibility, for this particular area, would be
a better choice.

Maybe it wouldn't. I'm open to other opinions.
