Moving forward/backward by weeks is very useful.  

Having a menu entry to discover that this capability exists, and find
out what the key bindings are.

I remember adding such menu entries at some point, but they don't seem
to be present anymore...

There are already some week moving commands in the Goto menu.

    * calendar/cal-menu.el (cal-menu-scroll-menu): Add a sub-section
    with commands that move point (as opposed to scrolling).

Is this worth it?  Do users care about the subtle difference between
scrolling and moving point?

I can only say that I consider the distinction worth having.
