Any chance of a full documentation in doc/encoders.texi?

I'll leave that to someone else - the few options it currently supports should be quite straightforward to use (the avoptions list, plus -threads, "-coder ac" which does the same as "-profile main" and -slices)

If this is in any other documentation file I would recommend using the real
encoder name "libopenh264", but general.texi is informational only so meh

Yeah, the headings here are using the full/"marketing" name of the external libs.

It would be better if you could reference why OpenH264 is superior to x264
(i.e. why people should use it instead)

I guess I could mention that it is under the BSD license.

I'll leave more subjective descriptions like "it is comparable to x264 at the ultrafast preset" to someone else, and such descriptions at least belong somewhere else than here (since this file is quite matter-of-fact style documentation - it doesn't give any opinion on which of the AAC encoders are good/bad either).
