    content: update GIMP 2.99.8 news.
    
    - Adding a caption to the video.
    - There is no "newer" after Big Sur, though it should happen very soon
      apparently. I assume our fix will work on later macOS versions, yet we
      haven't had any feedback about it (even though beta versions are out).
      Better not make statements about it.
    - Some minor formatting or wording changes.
    - Adding Andre Klapper in the build contributors. My stats scripts were
      actually listing him in the "translators" list because he touched a
      few .po files to fix broken markup. I had removed him because I don't
      think it counts as "translation", but thought his contributions had to
      count as something. Build contributions is what looks the closest.
