Proposed: Split the commands up into classes and display those. The user then has the option to view the help for a single class of commands. For instance:
"gluster help"  will return:

help all           - display all commands                                       
peer help          - display all trusted storage pool management commands          
volume help        - display all volume management commands                     
volume bitrot help - display all volume bitrot commands                         
volume quota help  - display all volume quota commands                          
volume tier help   - display all volume tier commands                           
snapshot help      - display all snapshot commands


"gluster peer help" will return:

peer probe { <HOSTNAME> | <IP-address> } - probe peer specified by <HOSTNAME>
peer detach { <HOSTNAME> | <IP-address> } [force] - detach peer specified by <HOSTNAME>
peer status - list status of peers
peer help - Help command for peer 
pool list - list all the nodes in the pool (including localhost)


and so on.

I see the following issues with the help output :

1. Some of the commands listed do not have a description displayed. These include the quota, tier and bitrot commands.
2. Non-uniform spacing of options:

volume top <VOLNAME> {open|read|write|opendir|readdir|clear} [nfs|brick <brick>] [list-cnt <value>] |

vs

volume heal <VOLNAME> [enable | disable | full |statistics [heal-count [replica 

3. Entries are not in alphabetical order
