Improving documentation is always a good thing, so you're very
welcome to contribute :)

Cool!

FWIW, I've been working for a while to build a Debian Perl Group
handbook from the POD files with Sphinx, but the proof of concept
is missing after migrating to salsa (will need to build it with
gitlab-ci eventually). Take a look at the Makefile in the repo
<https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/perl-team.pages.debian.net>
for the details.

While building the handbook I found out that a large source of
redundacy in the documentation comes from the fact that we have
POD docs in our tooling (e.g. pkg-perl-tools) that is also
on the website docs (and sometimes are not in sync or information
is split). Therefore, in some cases we may need to link to
manpages.debian.org instead, e.g.

https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/forward.html
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/pkg-perl-tools/dpt-forward.1.en.html

Cheers!
Alex
