How about starting with a change that would include in the description
the place where the input method is defined?  I think this would be a
valuable documentation feature.  Currently, you need to grep the
relevant sources for the name of the input method.

It's not wrong: Emacs doesn't know better.  But maybe there should be
some addition that is related to the currently active input method.
