This doesn't justify leaving the woman-specific logic in mule-cmds.el.
I think set-locale-environment can just set the general locale
variables, and other packages can use them for their purposes
(e.g. woman-manpath-add-locales can have the same code that currently
sets woman-locale in mule-cmds.el).

Also I don't understand why woman-locale is defcustom?  A defcustom
option is supposed to be customized by the user, but the customized
value of woman-locale always gets overridden at startup and on every
call to `set-locale-environment'.  Perhaps the code that uses the locale
in woman.el should prefer the customized value if woman-locale is non-nil?
