Subject: 26.2; Key `g' should run `package-menu-refresh' in the *Packages*
 buffer
Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2019 16:52:46 +0200

The ‘g’ key seems to be the standard way to refresh a list of things.
For example, ‘g’ runs ‘gnus-group-get-new-news’ in the gnus *Group*
buffer and ‘revert-buffer’ in vc-dir-mode.  In the package list,
‘package-menu-refresh’ is run by the ‘r’ key instead.

Since ‘g’ is unbound in ‘package-menu-mode’, could a binding be added to
run ‘package-menu-refresh’ for that key?
