I agree. Although Texinfo certainly is a slightly higher barrier and less
people are familiar with it than potential alternatives, I don't think
changing it would result in more people being willing to contribute to the
documentation. And if it annoys the people who are actually writing
documentation, like you and Eli, then it doesn't make sense to change it.
That being said, I do think we should consider alternatives to using the Info
format. Now that we have eww/shr, it might make sense to use HTML as well.
Although we need a way to support the index in it.
