Comment:

 Per Slack discussion, added a separate patch for trunk:

 - [attachment:40794.3.trunk.diff]: `trunk`
 - [attachment:40794.3.diff]: `4.8` branch

 The `trunk` patch is very similar to [attachment:privacy.diff] but with
 the string change from @Clorith and the cleanup of a couple of things that
 were copied over from the Credits page.

 Regarding `svn` and the merge of these two patches:

 > westonruter [11:13 PM]
 > For the Custom HTML widget I committed the separate file in `trunk`. And
 then for the 4.8 branch I did `svn merge` as normal, but before
 committing, I removed the newly added file and amended it on the existing
 file. In that way, the merge info is retained.
