To be frank, I'd rather avoid invasive patches on the upstream manpages,
because that becomes a mess to maintain on the long-term, and that's
better handled on the upstream side.
I have therefore pushed your patches to the upstream bugtracker [0]:
https://cups.org/str.php?L4360
… also asking whether he would be interested in more patches… Let's see
if that would be welcome.
Cheers,
