 Hi Andreas, 
  
 done: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/-/merge_requests/544 
  
 BTW, the main goal of templates is to workaround this JS problem. For 
 example, the "Metacpan" and "Github" templates use systems to workaround 
 this problems: 
 - Metacpan uses MetaCPAN::CLient 
 - Github uses API isntead of Github webpages 
  
 Best regards, 
 Xavier
