The three texi files auth.texi, cc-mode.texi, and tramp.texi in
the doc/misc/ directory use this kind of markup:

@uref{https://www.example.com/,,description}  ...[1]

This produces only "description", the url nor the link doesn't
appear in the info file.  Shouldn't it use a single "," not ",,"?

[1] in tramp.texi @url is used instead in the @footnote{}.

Ok, it's not a bug and I'm closing this.  Why I suspected it not
to be what the author wanted to do (since those urls will never
appear in at least info files) is that such expressions are just
a few cases in the texi files existing in the doc/ directory.
Overwhelming numbers of @uref, @url, and @indicateurl forms show
urls in info files:

175+94+8  @uref{url} @url{url} @indicateurl{url}
  196+20  @uref{url,desc} @url{url,desc}
     7+3  @uref{url,,desc} @url{url,,desc}
