I think it makes sense to merge the first patches soon:
 - bisect: don't mix option parsing and non-trivial code
 - bisect: simplify the addition of new bisect terms
 - bisect: replace hardcoded "bad|good" by variables
 - Documentation/bisect: revise overall content
 - Documentation/bisect: move getting help section to the end
 - bisect: correction of typo

I have nothing to add on the last ones, but they can cook in pu a bit longer.

Do you expect anything from my side?
