It would be helpful to have a `help_text` property added to the
InlineModelAdmin and children classes (StackedInline/TabularInline).
This would be displayed somewhere in the inline edit template (Maybe at
the very end of the fieldset tag?)

Comment:
Hi. Thanks for the report.
I'm a bit sceptical to begin. The admin API is arguably too extensive so
we're not generally keen on adding more.
* What's the use-case for this additional `help_text`?
* `This would be displayed somewhere...` — define that somewhere: what
would it look like?
But most importantly, why can't such be added in your own project by
overriding the `edit_inline` templates?
If you can implement it in your own project, then it's easier to show to,
say, the DevelopersMailingList and see if there's a general appetite for
the feature.
I hope that makes sense?
