I have difficulty answering these questions.  I think we should hear
from John first, because he knows best what has to be done.

Having a separate manual for use-package is fine if this is supposed
to be an optional package, not something used by core.  But I admit
that I have no clear idea of the purpose of bundling use-package with
Emacs, so maybe what I say makes no sense.
