I guess that the devmanual section will be read more often, so I'll
prepare a patch for it when (and if) the GLEP changes are accepted:
https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/news/index.html

That it currently has just "name" rather than "very short name" (as in
the GLEP) doesn't help, I suppose.
