Going by Wikipedia, maybe /mtp: isn't too off-target?

I have no expertise whatsoever about these protocols; I only learned
about them just now.  Are there users we could poll to find a method
name that makes sense?  I've looked at 2020-01-22 "Add new Tramp method
"media"" (2d9d62bb24), but I could not see any bug ID, so I don't know
who we could turn to.
