Hi,

When rst2man has no information to generate the 5th field to the
.TH macro (the one that sets the title line, i.e., the header and
footer of the manual page), it generates it as an empty argument,
that is "".  groff(1) and mandoc(1) have good defaults for the 5th
field of .TH when it is not specified, so that most manual pages
should need to specify it, but to use that default, the field has

s/should/shouldn't/

to be missing, and an empty argument is an existing argument.
I'll show an example, which may be more explicative:
