So this is a feature request?  I interpreted it as a regression, based
on this in the original bug report:

    The new `help-for-help' bound to C-h C-h hides the user's key bindings.

    I have bound a couple of commands to the C-h prefix to provide some
    personalized help and occasionally I would type C-h C-h to double check
    which commands I have bound, for some of the less frequently used ones.

    Previously, this would show the normal prefix help which describes all
    keys in the prefix map.  However, the new `help-for-help' does not do
    so.
