Thanks, it seems nice to me.

I've compared the list of generated .4ht files in the sources and in
TL, and there are two additional files in TL: info4ht.4ht and
revtex.4ht. I've found that there was missing target for info4ht.4ht
in the Makefile, so it wasn't generated. I updated it and it should be
OK now.

Regarding differences in the .4ht files, I think most of them is a
difference in the copyright message. There is just a few files with
differences in the code, I hope.

I can see that the original documentation is in the repo as
`doc/mn/TeX4ht-doc.tex`. Maybe it should be renamed to mn.tex, so we
can update the documentation directly?

And maybe we should put some of the HTML files generated from the
literate sources somewhere, there is lot of important stuff, for
example in tex4ht-info.html and tex4ht-4ht.html.
