Fine by me, but please wait for João to chime in.

Yes, it's fine. Show a patch and or push directly if you have permissions.

I think that's an exception rather than a rule.  Mode-specific menus
rarely have an item for their manuals.  And Eglot should need that
less than others, since most of its features just provide backends for
existing Emacs features.

Yes, that's true. But users are not really familiar with all of them: they don't
have the visibility that Eglot has.  So Felicián's idea makes sense to me,
judging from these years of watching the Eglot bug tracker (where Felicián
is a long-time regular, which would explain why he thinks this feature is
useful).

If there was a keybinding C-xyz so that C-xyz RET eglot RET would land
one in the Eglot manual within Emacs, I think that would come some
way.  Maybe there is this binding?
