That was not my conclusion. My conclusion was that it was up to the packager.
Well... https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-June/msg01522.html
Maybe there isn't a general case conclusion to draw but it sounds like treating help as an optional feature is what was decided for at least the desktop-team's subset of packages. We didn't generate any Guidelines out of that discussion so the package probably isn't going to raise any flags at review time.
This doesn't change that your conclusion holds:
So it seems like filesystem owning /usr/share/gnome/help would be the best so that we don't need to have every package own /usr/share/gnome/help.
