Good idea. The info crosslink, I mean.
But by all means, it is also a good idea to
report it as a bug. `report-emacs-bug' perhaps
doesn't sound like the place to file
suggestions, but it is, nonetheless. (Yeah...
actually it _is_ a bit confusing
and intimidating!)
But: You can post your suggestion here as well!
And perhaps it is a good idea to do so since
who knows, perhaps someone here knows of
a package to solve the issue, or a reason why
it isn't already there, or just someone telling
you ... you should report it as a bug :)

I just hammer TAB do go between buttons and
then hit RET to get to the code. I don't think
I'd gain so much speed from the s key doing the
same thing, but strictly speaking, I should at
least gain some, and it makes sense as well -
so yes, I think this is a good idea as well :)
