Just focus on the table for assert* methods.  This is the one category that users will need to look-up over and over again.  The goal is to make the docs more usable, not more voluminous.

Also, I suggest finding meaningful groupings (don't stick with alpha order) and including a short plain assert-statement equivalents to show what the methods actual do (this is important because many are new, some are obscure, and not all have obvious semantics):

 | assertEqual(x, y)          | assert x == y                      |
 | assertGreaterThan(x, y)    | assert x > y                       |
 | assertItemsEqual(act, exp) | assert sorted(exp) == sorted(act)  |
