"Build" is the wrong term here.  Sorry about that!  My intent is to find
an easy way/workflow to get the files from Emacs into GNU ELPA.

And by "easy" I mean not to duplicate the work we do here.  So I would
not have to contact the GNU ELPA maintainers separately and have them
pull from my git source.

Good to know.  I have no particular preference on the matter and shall
adapt to whatever you and others may recommend.

Syncing the latest version works fine for me.

I have thus far published tagged releases on a monthly cadence.  Expect
the next one in mid to late November.

I attach a possible rewording that also corrects "colour" and adds an
explicit reference to the WCAG AAA accessibility spec.  Please note that
I do not know how to properly reference an Info node: I used 'C-u 0 x',
which calls 'Info-copy-current-node-name'.
