*** hi-lock-mode does not automatically pick up new occurrences in fundamental and text modes
See maybe bug#39597#41.
*** new debbugs.el command to apply git-format-patch attachments
To take some manual work off the maintainers:
- bug#39504#21
  #+begin_quote
  I did it by hand since there were two patches in the email and the `M-m'
  command in debbugs-gnu (which does all this applying and marking with
  bug numbers automatically) doesn't like that.
  #+end_quote
- bug#39504#24
  #+begin_src elisp
  (defun debbugs-gnu-am ()
    (gnus-mime-pipe-part "git am")
    (vc-checkin nil 'Git)
    (vc-git-log-edit-toggle-amend)
    ;; log-edit-done eventually errors out if vc-parent-buffer is not a
    ;; file-visiting buffer.
    (setq-local vc-parent-buffer (find-file-noselect "CONTRIBUTE")))

Patch applied.
** bug#39504 eww/shr: Ensure faces of enclosing elements apply to <code> elements
Patch applied.

Unfortunately debbugs.el does not handle multiple patches per message;
the patch was thus applied manually, and somehow the first patch's
diff ended up with the second patch's title (and a whole new message
by the maintainer).

I'll try to follow-up with a =git-am=-based function to apply patches
at point from Gnus (cf. bug#39504#24).
** bug#39597 M-x occur adds fontification to fundamental-mode
Fixed by Stefan & Juri.
** bug#39680 electric-pair-mode broken by undo
Fixed by Stefan.

Still not clear why my ERT test is erratic.
