Hello, Max --
Some responses below, then I think merging would be fine. I am losing my
ability and energy to process these patch files, honestly.

I don't need to be credited; it would be fine to just merge in whatever
way is convenient.

The whole thing addresses how to open mailto links in the default mail
client. It's not our fault that figuring out how org-mode dispatches
these links and then what goes on inside browse-url is so complicated!

To be honest, I'm not sure what value this whole comment section has.
Given that, I'm ok with whatever you want to do: leave it as it, try to
fix it, or just remove it altogether. I actually think that removing it
might be best. It's confusing, and will eventually become out-of-date,
and who will update it?
I'll leave it to you to choose.
Best,
R
