The purpose of filing bug reports is to ensure that problems are not forgotten. It allows the community (people like you) to have a useful understanding of the problems that exist when choosing what tasks to put time and effort into fixing.
*sigh* I guess that means the next step is to figure out if it's broken for the Linux builds as well, or just for Windows. (Can't test for Mac OS since I don't have access to the necessary hardware or software...)
The first step would be to make a patch that works for you, and to attach it to the ticket.
Wouldn't that require me to somehow get hold of whatever repo contains the script for generating the Windows installer?
Then again if it's simply a matter of generating additional HTML text (as opposed to styling/rendering issues) then it should be straightforward to verify that the new content is added in the generated files without worrying about other platforms.
I imagine the issue is something utterly trivial list a line of text missing from a file - which is why I'm so surprised that the problem has been reported multiple times and yet not fixed...
