I'm copying Eduardo who volunteered in the past for this kind of work.

Definitely an ingredient of why your work improved the situation a lot!

I'd definitely love to get more feedback on this: I don't think the
current banner is *that* cluttered, and the info about the repo and
the way to send bug reports seems really useful - but perhaps that's
just me.

Please go ahead with what seems better to you (especially since it
matches Ihor's preferences too), but if Eduardo has some time to help,
it be great to really stabilize what kind of info is expected on this
banner.

Thanks!
