In general, this shouldn't be necessary: I presume you use AUCTeX out of
a local repo and AUCTeX has a .dir-locals.el in the repo.  It sets
`fill-column' to 74 for change-log-mode, so you don't need the function
above (except you have some other setup which makes it necessary).

I have

  (add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'turn-on-auto-fill)

Thanks.

This is what I get:

    -> texdoc -l amsart
    1 pathto/doc/latex/amscls-doc/author_handbook_journals.pdf
       = AMS Author Handbook for Journal Classes

I briefly looked at the .pdf, but couldn't find any amsart specific
content in it, so I looked at amsart.cls :)

That would be great, and I think it is done without major effort 👍

Welcome, and thanks for working on this.
