Counter-opinion: contributions are welcome. Raising the priority does
NOTHING to accelerate the processing. The effecting of raisig it a
little is zero; the effect of raising it much is that it gets lowered
if it remains unresolved an a release approaches.

Without checking: it's most likely that the actual HTML file names
have changed in 2.6, so that the interactive invocation of HTML
pages would work on no system. Either you provide a fix, or it remains
unfixed until somebody provides a fix.

Unassigning myself, as I will have no time to work on this in the
coming months.
