I definitely built it with maintenance in mind. I am willing to maintain 
this code for as long as possible, but I cannot guarantee that I will be 
able to do it forever!
I will be responsive if contacted by email or if an issue is created on 
the GitHub repository.

I also took the time to setup a CI with most of the code properly 
tested. This should allow to minimize future breakages when modifying 
the code.

Yes this would only imply very minor changes to the program. The 
question now would be where should be this file located and how/when/by 
whom would it be updated?

Another option I imagined would be to generate the website on another 
machine/VM that would run on testing/unstable and then rsync it to the 
production machine (which is what I am currently doing).

Anyways, don't hesitate to contact me if you have other specific needs 
to simplify the deployment of this website.

Thank you for your interest and time.
