They are!  Consider (new vs. old):

describe-gnu-project
         vs.
describe-project
         - which project?

(Compare to e.g. "describe-bindings" which describes current bindings,
 so I would expect describe-project describes the "current project"
 whatever that might be...)


view-emacs-todo
         vs.
view-todo
         - confusing wrt todo-mode.

Also, there's already view-emacs-FAQ, view-emacs-news, etc.
so view-emacs-todo is the correct name.
