You don't need to add this to gdbint.texinfo until it's in good shape
and sufficiently complete.  Likewise, not every change on the wiki
needs to be immediately reflected in the manual, you can do that only
after a substantial amount of changes went in.  OTOH, fixing a typo or
some similar trivial correction don't need to be reviewed, and if they
are, the result is known in advance.

IOW, I'm willing to make a lot of allowances if that will convince you ;-)

My rationale is very simple: if we start putting important parts of
documentation on the wiki, then why maintain the manuals at all?
