Thanks for reviewing my proposal!

My proposal aims at the manpages that are written manually or
semi-automatically. Particularly 'man-pages' project is not the aim
here, I cite their conventions just to show that Debian manpages are
supposed to follow the conventions of .TH structure.

Best wishes,
Andrius
