> On the other hand, `help_text` for method-fields seem to make perfect
sense. They would be rendered on the `changeform` just like the
`help_text` for any other readonly field.

admin UX.

implementation can be extracted from #12309, excluding the `changelist`
changes.
You can use `short_description` that already works for methods, that's
more appropriate because you want to describe a value. `help_text` is
rather an instruction for filling forms.
