It would be nice if you could better describe what’s moved where since
looking at the diff doesn’t help understand it.

Should be “Writing Custom Channels”.

Maybe “Creating a Channel” is more to the point actually?

Maybe something like:

  As a channel author, consider bundling authentication material with
  your channel so that users can authenticate it.  @xref{Channel
  Authentication}, and @ref{Specifying Channel Authorizations}, for
  info on how to do it.

(Note: @pxref cannot be used in the middle of a sentence like you did
above.  I always end up re-reading the Texinfo manual to find which
cross-reference command to use in which context…)

Could you send updated patches?

Thanks!
