You clearly don't understand the implications of what you're asking.

I'm trying to get the *entire* manual page corpus cleaned up to the
point where it can easily be HTMLized and cross-indexed. It's a huge
job; I've been plugging at it for twelve years. I'm tracking over 500
man-page bugs on hundreds of separate projects and have 327 patches
pending.

I don't have the time or bandwidth to become a mailing-list subscriber
and adapt to every single local set of submission conventions. This
work is nearly too difficult for a single human as it is, and nobody
else is signing up to do it.

It's as much as I can do to provide fixes. I need project maintainers
to be helpful and take responsibility for doing the mechanics of
applying them, or I won't be able to get this done at all.
