merge all; if some descriptions have to be improved or corrected, even
avter release; the earlier the merge, the better. having a much improved
help system and not showing it to users does not make sense.
if someone has serious objections please speak out, otherwise I'd just go.

if this is not too difficult, I suggest fixing it (Alaex, could you?).

redirect all ``docs/user_manual/processing_algs/saga/*`` links to a page
with something like "Help missing - please help us improving this by
sending us your description of this alg" with either a link to a GH page
to be edited or a mailto (is there someone willing to take this review?
Matteo, would yo be available?

If necessart, we could use some additionsl funds from QGIS to finish up
and polish this important work.

All the best.
