There's still one solution that should satisfy everyone, because it does 
not "consume" any of the still free key bindings.  It would give the 
following section in help-for-help (aka C-h C-h):

Miscellaneous

C-a About Emacs
C-f Emacs FAQ
C-n News of recent changes
C-m Order printed manuals

C-p Known problems
C-d Debugging Emacs
C-c Contribute improvements to Emacs
C-t Emacs TODO

g   About the GNU project
G   Emacs copying permission (GNU General Public License)
C-o Emacs ordering and distribution information
C-w Information on absence of warranty
