Lars, my mail from Wednesday might have nudged you into action on
this. Regardless, at the time I said:

So, maybe include the list in `describe-mode' output? Or invent a new
`describe-extended-commands' command and bind that to C-h <something>?
Like a command line, commands like M-x are great for invoking the
commands you know about. Even though I mentioned M-x above, improving
help might be a better starting point.
