Hello, and thanks for your contribution! Thanks also for providing the link to the upstream discussion.

It's an interesting topic and while I don't use info docs much myself, I see how it could be useful. My problem with this is that upstream does not seem keen on taking it for now, which means it might become a downstream only patch which we'll then have to carry ourselves. And however simple it looks, there's always the chance of clashes with new versions or fixes backported from upstream, which is something we really much would like to avoid.

I'll leave this open for now, (and I'll point it to my fellow QEMU package maintainers) to see what others think, but my inclination is to not deviate from upstream for something like this

In the end it's your call but the patch is maintained by Guix and
doesn't cause any clashes with Qemu as it uses the bultin functionality
of Sphinx.

The packaging for Sphinx Texinfo is already done in openSUSE.
