This Week In Servo 42

In the last week, we landed 106 PRs in the Servo organization’s repositories.

We have a new homepage, http://www.servo.org! Many thanks to nerith and lucywyman!

Prabhjyot Sodhi did some initial analysis of Servo’s E-Easy bugs to show how long it is before they are closed - for a large subset of them, it was within 24 hours!

Notable additions
