Will you also want to bind a `C-h' key for (emacs) `Language Help'? And for (emacs) `Apropos'? And for (emacs) `Coding Systems'? A priori, I would prefer to keep most `C-h' keys for commands that describe things. Sooner or later we will have a "b" or "C-b" thingie worth describing using `C-h C-b'. Example: In my file `help-fns+.el' I added `C-h M-k' for my `describe-keymap' command. Instead of binding `C-h C-b' to take you to (emacs) `Bugs', I'd sooner see us add a link to (emacs) `Bugs' in the doc string of `report-emacs-bug'. But I've said that before - we should add info links to *Help* output. There are patches to do that here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-06/msg00368.html.
