Please be more specific about what do you think is hard-coded in
'describe-function'.  It's hard to respond to such a vague
request/claim.

Again, "everywhere" is too broad.  My best guess is that you want to
customize 'help-quote-translation', but please verify that it is what
you want.  If it is, you will find it mentioned in NEWS, so if that
entry needs to be amended, please tell what is missing from it.

The above variable is in the ELisp manual already.

In any case, contents of manuals is not finalized until Emacs is in
pretest.  (Volunteers to do it earlier by looking up undocumented NEWS
entries are welcome, of course.)
