(This is my analysis of the documentation, wearing my GDP FL hat.  This
is not my opinion of the program or its appropriateness for inclusion in
the Gnome desktop.)

GNOME Keyring Manager has no documentation.  This may be suitable for
inclusion in the User Guide, though I'm worried that the User Guide is
getting unusably large.  At the very least, it should be mentioned in
the User Guide where keyrings are discussed for Nautilus.

At a brief glance, I didn't understand everything in g-k-m, so it's
definitely in need of some documentation love.  This will require the
assistance of people who understand gnome-keyring.  The program was
built largely by new volunteers as a gnome-love project.  Perhaps the
documentation could benefit from the same.
