Comment:
Attached an updated version of the patch from #12359 by [email protected]
which moves the assignment of the help_text from
django.db.models.fields.related to django.contrib.admin.options.
I had begun making a patch to move the help_text assignment to
django.forms.widgets.SelectMultiple, but in doing so I realized that this,
too, is poor behavior. The help_text property is expected to be in direct
control of the application; in no situation should it be modified by the
framework.
