The point truly is _discoverability_. Thanks, but this is only useful someone picks up the taks, and does something ... ideas are easy. We might imagine some semi-automatic way (suggestions for a maintainer) of coming up with relevant keywords, to help make the job of adding and maintaining `Keywords' easier and more fruitful. Back in the day, we (the GNU nitpicker gang -- https://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/womb/gnits/gnits.texi?view=log) had a glossary of sorts, with tables of commonly used options, and what nots. It wasn't semi-automatic, very much manual, and even so more so that hard to know about it. Maybe this could be automated somewhat, a M-x identify-package like command that asks the user stuff, and tries to match things against some file. Ofcourse, these are just random ideas, someone would have to implement something ... alas I'm out of general time to do this.
