I do not think there will be a new mallard-based help for Rhythmbox in Lucid.
Rhythmbox is kind of a moving target: it doesn't follow Gnome release
schedule (there has been a Rhythmbox release almost a month ago).
Probably there could be a new one for Lucid+1, but again it depends
when a new version will be released, and we need to keep in sync with
that. But September/October could be more realistic.

Agreed, a mallard-based help in this situation would be definitely better.
