I agree too. A unique source is best.

My 2 euro cents.

Proposal: use asciidoc (as in the manuals) or markdown (as in the docs)
to have a pretty looking page to be displayed in the help dialog, with
web links as such. Just rename README.txt into README.adoc or README.md
and that's all. Using such extensions its formatted content will be
automatically rendered also in the github repository.
