Turned out that most references were mine, anyway, so little bonus.  I 
changed them to "GnuPG Agent" where the "abstract agent" more likely is 
being referred to and to @command{gpg-agent} where the "concrete 
command" is meant.  (The GnuPG manual is, um, extremely inconsistent in 
naming this thing, so nothing to be learnt from it.)

Other than that I followed your proposals, new patch attached.

There is this one open question regarding a completely different manual 
("Emacs auth-source") from one of my previous mails, though:
