You are welcome to have a go at converting the docs to that format.  It
seems like a relatively straightforward problem--perhaps a new Docutils
output format implementation?

Personally, I don't see the point of TeXinfo/Info documentation.  It is
much more efficient for me to simply browse HTML files (even with
Links/Lynx on a character terminal) instead of suffering through the
user interface of 'info'. Why another format? (Except for the GNU
decree.)
