Thanks!

May you please split unrelated changes into a separate patch?

It would be nice to provide etc/ORG-NEWS entry as well.

This example is a bit confusing. How will it look like in Org document?
#+TEXINFO_DIR_TITLE: * title: (filename). ?
If yes, it is confusing because you just mention that default value is
filename, but you have both "title" and "filename" in the example.
Maybe
: #+TEXINFO_DIR_TITLE: * name: (filename).
?

I'd also add that it should be a short sentence.

What about TEXINFO_DIR_NAME + TECINFO_DIR_DESC?
I do not see a big problem with description defaulting to document title
given that it should be a short sentence - an equivalent of proper
document title.

Sounds reasonable. We may add a new custom option with default category.

It would be nice to add a comment saying that dt values like
"Foo (filename)" are already captured by the previous cond clause.

What if dt is "Foo."?
