    man-pages is supported · c76a5878

    Starting last month, I reached a long-time goal: man-pages finally has a
    paid, full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux
    Foundation.  It's still a little unclear how long the LF money will last
    for the fellowship, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on:
    
    * Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API,
      and every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally
      before actual release.  (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a
      backlog, so I'm not going to achieve the ideal immediately.)
    
    * Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the
      mainline kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at
      it (e.g., the recent utimensat() work).
    
    * Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done
      before they are released into the mainline kernel.
    
    * And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for
      existing man pages.
