Don't you think it is weird for an Info page to say

  5.17 Android shell setup hints
  ==============================

but then in its parent index, one only sees

  Configuring TRAMP for use

  * Remote shell setup::          Remote shell setup hints.
  * Android shell setup::         Android shell setup hints.
  * Auto-save and Backup::        Auto-save and Backup.

Therefore I hereby propose there be created

  (defcustom Info-number-index-items 'full
    "'basic means to put the subsection number in front of index items.
    'full means to put the full index number in front of index items...

Thus one could see

  5 Configuring TRAMP for use

  * 16 Remote shell setup::          Remote shell setup hints.
  * 17 Android shell setup::         Android shell setup hints.
  * 18 Auto-save and Backup::        Auto-save and Backup.

Or

  5 Configuring TRAMP for use

  * 5.16 Remote shell setup::          Remote shell setup hints.
  * 5.17 Android shell setup::         Android shell setup hints.
  * 5.18 Auto-save and Backup::        Auto-save and Backup.

In fact, I can't think of any book or online document that doesn't
number their chapters or indexes.

The former is the section name, the latter the node names.

These are not index items, these are menus which are part of the
manual.

And I don't think this report has anything to do with Emacs, you
should report this to the Texinfo mailing list.

Since this is unrelated to Emacs, I'm now closing this bug.

Best regards,
