I noticed that Holger made some changes to the page yesterday:
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/english/distrib/pre-installed.data?r1=1.192&r2=1.193&view=patch

Holger's change fixed that.

Holger didn't fix this one though, so I am not sure if he is reading
the mail archives or not, CCed to ask him.

I guess we would need to define that.
Personally I wonder if all our lists of external things (books,
merchandise, consultants, CD vendors, preinstall vendors, mirrors,
users etc) on the website should be switched to a system similar to
how the mirror submission works. That is, a form on the website that
submits the relevant data in the correct form via email to the Debian
bug reporting system. This way we don't have to massage data into the
right format before putting it into the website, we have an easy way
to track requests, folks can easily find out the status of their
requests and get notified when they are done.

The CD vendors form works similarly but just sends a mail to the list.
https://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/adding-form
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debwww/cgi.git/tree/cgi-bin/submit_cdvendor.pl
If you'd like to help out with the website more generally, reporting
bugs against www.debian.org with patches is probably the best way.
