I understand this markup came out of frustration from having to do this
by hand.

Let's use bold only for critical information that the RM must really
not miss. This is not it.

That's the same as "Check for any feedback in tails-testers@boum.org",
which is 2 lines below.

Most of that is simply wrong nowadays.

That's a leftover of a long-defunct manual test suite automation project.
Right now it only creates noise during manual testing.

All tests that we can realistically automate include a link
to the corresponding issue.

Note that the upstream 91.5.0 release notes prominently say "For more on all the
new features in Thunderbird 91, see New in Thunderbird 91.0", and link to
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-thunderbird-91/, which seems much more
informative than
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/91.0/releasenotes/ for our
target audience.

So our users will still have a chance to get information about the 78 →
91 changes.

The shell snippet I'm fixing here was assuming check-mirrors.rb

That's not the case.

The main use case for this contents is to be pasted on a pad that treats

ISO history is now publicly available.

Depending on the computer used by the RM, and on the available
isobuilders (lizard vs. iguana), the previous time estimates
may be either correct or vastly over-optimistic.

Let's set the RM's expectations more correctly.
