If you can write a patch, it's + very welcome. + + If you're unsure if the bug is in the manual page or in the code + being documented (kernel, glibc, ...), it's best to send the + report to both at the same time, that is, CC all the mailing + lists that may be concerned by the report. + + Some distributions (for example Debian) apply patches to the + upstream manual pages. If you suspect the bug is in one of those + patches, report it to your distribution maintainer. + + Send logically separate reports. For unrelated pages, or for + logically-separate issues in the same page, send separate emails. + + There's also a bugzilla, but we don't use it as much as the + mailing list. If you want to track your bug there, feel free to + open a bug report, but expect more attention in the mailing list. + +See also + CONTRIBUTING + CONTRIBUTING.d/* + + <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/buglist.cgi?component=man-pages> |
