Well, that was the subject of this thread.  Also this is not true, I
just wrote:

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In other words: I support your idea to let Eglot's mode line be freely
customized by introducing a user-visible eglot-mode-line-format varible.
I'm simply stating that amongst the multiple elements possible in that
list, the element which puts in the project's "human-readable" name can
only logically get that information from project.el's API, which is
currently lacking in this regard.  Plugging that hole was Stephen's
suggestion, which I support.
