Expecting it to be the most promising, I have checked Bronstein's thesis publication of 1990 (57 pages, 2.4MB, barely readable digitization). I can assure our author that this contains no "prior art" concerning an extension of Hermite reduction (p. 132) to multiple non-integer exponents or to a lowering of exponents: the equations agree with those in the Symbolic Integration Tutorial of 1998/2000 and fail for multiple non-integer exponents because the integrated term is again too restricted. So only Goursat (1902, p. 238-241) and Hebisch (2012, unpublished) remain.
Martin.
