i'm actually not currently writing (or needing to write) a man(7)
page. It's just that i'd be more inclined to potentially help with
Linux-oriented man pages (and the man-pages project in particular)
if there was such a table, to allow me to potentially do
small/quick corrections, additions, etc. - i run two OpenBSD
servers, but my daily driver is Gentoo.
i already have a lot of volunteer FOSS stuff on my plate, and i
have to regularly make an active effort to not take on more /
overcommit, so anything that can smooth the path for me to make
quick changes as i notice them is appreciated.

Yes, off the top of my head, it seems like a number of people
might find it useful ....
Alexis.
