Have you read the existing entries in the same section you are
touching to see if the patch result as a whole makes sense and the
new entry fits well in the context?

It strikes me odd that this is not listed next to statusHints, and
it also makes me wonder if we even need to invent a new one, or it
is better to just make the output more verbose when statusHints is
not being declined.

Yes, we first thought that we could use statusHints to protect the
new messages warnings. But users that disabled statusHints and still
wished to know what to do during am/rebase/bisect etc. won't be
able to. On the other hand, if they want to hide the new advices, they
can see in the doc the presence of the advice.statusHelp and disable it.
