A página man veio como parte de um pacote. Encontre qual pacote ele pertence. Siga esse backstream para sua distribuição, eles provavelmente terão um link para o repositório upstream ou desenvolvedores. Vá até lá, envie um patch ou atualize seguindo os procedimentos definidos para esse projeto.
Então, no meu sistema Debian, eu me importo de usar os seguintes comandos para descobrir o desenvolvedor do upstream.

Description-en: Traces the route taken by packets over an IPv4/IPv6 network
The traceroute utility displays the route used by IP packets on their way to a
specified network (or Internet) host. Traceroute displays the IP number and
host name (if possible) of the machines along the route taken by the packets.
Traceroute is used as a network debugging tool. If you're having network
connectivity problems, traceroute will show you where the trouble is coming
from along the route.
.
Install traceroute if you need a tool for diagnosing network connectivity
problems.
