The program name "g_qa" is deprecated as we want to remove the underscore [1]. That also goes for the other "g_" tools, all being renamed to be sans underscore. The manual page actually matches the mged command name (and is an "n" page to reflect that it's for an mged command, even though it also fully applicable to the command-line command as well).
While arguably a minimally impacting name (meaning we could have changed them on the spot during a minor release, the gtool name changes were deprecated back in 7.14, so it wasn't until 7.20 that they could be removed. They'll undoubtedly get renamed for 7.22.0 for sure, though. Cheers!
