Thanks Cyril for creating this bug and all the work you're doing related 
to implement the decisions of the general resolution about 
non-free-firmware.

I have created 2 branches in the webwml repo:

1.- branch GR-non-free-firmware
Where I plan to work on reflecting the changes that we should do in the 
website on this topic

2.- branch bookworm
to prepare the changes for the website related to bookworm release that 
at not related with non-free-firmware (e.g. website banner, the usual 
changes we do for releases [1], etc)

Both of them are empty for now, but I plan to put some work in the 
following days, and encourage everybody to help too.

[1] I think it's not well documented but I usually use these 2 wiki page 
as reference:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicity/ReleasePointAnnouncements
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/ReleaseCheckList/BookwormCheckList

Kind regards,
