`\thanks` doesn't work properly

[Mylloon]

\thanks isn't printed at the footer of the page when tagging is enabled

Without	With
```latex \documentclass{article} \title{Test} \author{Hello\thanks{world!}} \begin{document} \maketitle \end{document} ```	```latex \DocumentMetadata{testphase = {phase-III}} \documentclass{article} \title{Test} \author{Hello\thanks{world!}} \begin{document} \maketitle \end{document} ```

well actually it not a bug but a feature. Normally, when \raggedbottom is in effect, footnotes are near the end of the text. But due to a bug in LaTeX this doesn't happens if a \newpage (or the end of the document) follows. So e.g.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]some text\footnote{abc} 

\rule{1cm}{15cm}

\newpage 
\lipsum[1]some text\footnote{abc} 
\end{document}

gives this on page 1

and this on page 3

The tagging code (more precisely the new-or module) correct this, and both footnote texts are at the same place. This also affects the footnotes in the title. If you want to move them to the bottom activate \flushbottom.

I wonder if we want to offer a stylistic option to handle \thanks "footnotes" specially on the first page (nothing to do with tagging though is more a general question of the support level in LaTeX once footmisc moves into the kernel).

I didn't know, thanks!
