The alternative also isn't great (see below).
I vaguely remember having run into this feature before when using Org to
record a pros and cons list. As a maintainer I don't like this question
but; could this feature be made optional? (Of course one could use tags
to indicate whether an item is a pro or cons, but for such a simple use-
case that seems more work than necessary and less immediately obvious.)

This bothered me a bit too when writing it but at the same time
it seemed like overkill to replicate the docstrings of the called
functions. How do you feel about using a hook instead?
(defvar org-texinfo--filter-parse-tree-functions
'(org-texinfo--normalize-headlines
org-texinfo--normalize-items)
"List of functions the `texinfo' back-end applies to the parsed tree.
Each filter is called with three arguments: the parse tree, as
returned by `org-element-parse-buffer', the back-end, as
a symbol, and the communication channel, as a plist. It must
return the modified parse tree to transcode.")
Do you prefer to add the hook functions as done above or should each one
be added individually using add-hook?

Done. Is this okay?:
(when (and next-item
(string-prefix-p
"+"
(org-element-property :bullet next-item)))
Or should the line-breaks go elsewhere?
> Anyhow, relying on mixed bullets is not great…
The alternative isn't great either.
For example:
- Key: C-c C-w (forge-browse-TYPE) ::
+ Key: C-c C-w (forge-browse-dwim) ::
+ Key: N b I (forge-browse-issues) ::
+ Key: N b P (forge-browse-pullreqs) ::
+ Key: N b t (forge-browse-topic) ::
+ Key: N b i (forge-browse-issue) ::
+ Key: N b p (forge-browse-pullreq) ::
These commands visit the topic, issue(s), pull-request(s), post,
branch, commit, or remote at point in a browser. ...
vs.
- Key: C-c C-w (forge-browse-TYPE), C-c C-w (forge-browse-dwim), N b I (forge-browse-issues), N b P (forge-browse-pullreqs), N b t (forge-browse-topic), N b i (forge-browse-issue), N b p (forge-browse-pullreq) ::
These commands visit the topic, issue(s), pull-request(s), post,
branch, commit, or remote at point in a browser. ...
I am sure I am gonna make mistakes when using the latter approach.
Cheers,
Jonas
