Yes, it's fine. Show a patch and or push directly if you have permissions.

Yes, that's true. But users are not really familiar with all of them: they
don't
have the visibility that Eglot has. So Felicián's idea makes sense to me,
judging from these years of watching the Eglot bug tracker (where Felicián
is a long-time regular, which would explain why he thinks this feature is
useful).
If there was a keybinding C-xyz so that C-xyz RET eglot RET would land
one in the Eglot manual within Emacs, I think that would come some
way. Maybe there is this binding?
