Thanks for reporting!

I've fixed up the first two, but I haven't yet found the PRs regarding
the extension unbundling, and I'm unsure about the implementation of the
last RFC; the implementation section has PR #13128, but mentions
"without fpow yet".

On a general note, the whole administrative part of the RFC process
feels like we're stuck in the 20th century.  For instance, to start the
vote, you are supposed to:

* update the RFC page to "voting" status
* add the doodle voting macro
* add the voting start and end dates to the text of the RFC
* move the RFC to "voting" on the RFC overview page
* send an email to the ML announcing the start of voting

Wut?  Might as well ask me to send a punched card to someone.

Cheers,
Christoph
