I tested it and found no problem with it. How much testing did you do? I will not be able to prepare any patch myself (not even the symlink one) nor do any testing of texdoc. But if you prepare(d) a patch and are confident you tested enough (and care for any breakage caused nevertheless), I'm willing to build and upload a package with the changes. Or are you a DD (or DM) anyway? Then I wouldn't mind you doing it (or do it and put you into Uploaders).
