[26134] intentionally set the padding to 20 pixels on the top and bottom so the links in that section would have adequate spacing for touchscreen interactivity.

40 pixels between each line seems high when the font size is still only 13px, but touch targets smaller than 24 pixels must be at least 24 pixels away from other targets to meet ​WCAG Success Criterion 2.5.8. The minimum would be padding: 12px 10px, and I would prefer not to reduce it to less than padding: 15px 10px after eleven years at the higher value (if at all).
