I don't know if this is the correct place for it, but since it involves the format and Babel...
In the hyph-utf8 bundle of hyphenation patterns, there is one file that has not babelname set (in the comments):
tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/hyph-no.tex
I don't know how other distributions make it, but I grep the pattern files in order to match a Babel name with the patterns (in fact, loadhyph-*.tex) to load when generating the format from a list of supported languages that the user wants in the LaTeX format.

The hyphenation patterns have their own mailing list (https://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-hyphen), but since I read this one too I can reply here.

Although intentional, this is not quite correct if we follow the Unicode CLDR, which considers the ‘default’ Norwegian is ‘no’ (technically it’s a macrolanguage, and ‘nb’=“Norwegian Bokmål” is empty and just inherits from it). This is the correspondence made by babel, which follows Unicode. However, internally, hyphenation rules are set to the name ‘norwegian’ as
