They are integrated in the Emacs source tree, so we could negotiate with
the maintainers. Even if we cannot change all manuals this way, the
number of exceptions in info-lookup would decrease.

I could start the discussion with the Tramp maintainer, I assume he is
willing to change. Lars could discuss the eww and gnus cases, if needed :-)

Of course, first we need to document the naming conventions.

Best regards, Michael.
