I have found two others. 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699430
 is marked as closed, but the content only appears in the nightly build
of the help manual.  I presume that it will be transferred to release
2.6 documentation.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633590
seems to be a work in progress that has gotten stalled.  That covers an
area that is seriously deficient in the documentation and imho it should
be revived and given a very high priority.
