Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to use the bantime increment feature in fail2ban.

At
https://serverfault.com/questions/1093451/fail2ban-bantime-increment-not-working,
I see the author recommends "please read the mans attentively".

I read the manual page at JAIL.CONF(5), but it did not contain any
mention of bantime.increment, or related bantime.* directives.

I checked the file
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/fail2ban/server/observer.py which
includes the text "This module was written as part of ban time increment
feature."  This suggests the functionality is in the Debian package
already.  (Also the author mentions "Bantime increment facility is
released with fail2ban 0.11", so it has probably been in Debian since
Bullseye.)

I expect that relevant documentation including manual pages should be
included in the debian pakage.
