Updated:
e17dba8fe1 ("remote: prefer subcommand name 'remove' to
'rm'", 2012-09-06) removed the 'rm' subcommand from
completion. The 'remote rm' subcommand is still supported
and not planned to be removed. Offer completions for it.

It looks like that was just about preferring remove in documentation

completion since rm is still supported.
I read it as a first step in a long process to eventually
remove 'remote rm', but if that's never intended, then sure,
restoring completion for it seems reasonable.
It would be good to hear from those who know or recall the
intention.
I think we should only complete the preferred subcommand.
That encourages use of 'remote remove' even if 'remote rm'
will stay forever to avoid breaking existing scripts.
If it does make sense to restore completion, adding a link
back to e17dba8fe1 and explaining why the completion is
being restored would be good. Reading the commit message
now makes it sound like 'remote rm' was never present and is
being added to correct an oversight.
Maybe something like:
completion: restore 'remote rm'
e17dba8fe1 ("remote: prefer subcommand name 'remove' to
'rm'", 2012-09-06) removed the 'rm' subcommand from
completion. The 'remote rm' subcommand is still supported

I also noticed that in your original commit that you say
"list of removes as remove does." That should be "remotes"
instead of "removes" there. -- I've made that typo myself
quite often. :)
