Links in footer menu pointing to repo blobs

Only just got a chance to look at this, but I notice that in the "footer menu"

`Edit on GitHub / Contributing / Source / Cite / Contact`

some of the links are still (?) pointing to blobs in the repo, and not
files rendered from the lesson's sources?

The current lesson, as rendered at github.io, which I just viewed, has these link targets

Edit on GitHub: https://github.com/swcarpentry/lesson-example/edit/gh-pages/index.md
Contributing: https://github.com/swcarpentry/lesson-example/blob/gh-pages/CONTRIBUTING.md
Source: https://github.com/swcarpentry/lesson-example/
Cite: https://github.com/swcarpentry/lesson-example/blob/gh-pages/CITATION
Contact: mailto:lessons@software-carpentry.org

whereas, I had thought, following the related discussions in both the core

- [swcarpentry/lesson-example](https://github.com/swcarpentry/lesson-example/pull/127)
- [swcarpentry/styles](https://github.com/swcarpentry/styles/pull/166)

repos, that `Contributing` and `Cite` were now going to be handled by your replacement
mechanism, for the older `permalink` markup approach, and would thus be rendered akin
to most of the links in the main menubar, so say:

Code of Conduct: http://swcarpentry.github.io/lesson-example/CONDUCT.html

where the source file from the lesson `CONDUCT.md` gest automatically turmed
into a "lesson-local" link, ie to `CONDUCT.html` ?

If I am recalling the discussions correctly, that would given these links

Contributing: [http://swcarpentry.github.io/lesson-example/CONTRIBUTING.html]

Cite: [http://swcarpentry.github.io/lesson-example/CITATION.html]

neither of which HTML file exists, hence me commnting them out above!

I note, from the current repo code filelist, that `CONTRIBUTING.md` is there, but
that `CITATION.md` isn't, but that there is just the old plan text `CITATION` file
that kind of sits there doing nothing at present?

Hoping that's a useful spot, and not just me missing some decision that "knocked back"
those parts of the original "proposal".

All the best for the roll-out,
Kevin
