I found the page below in my bookmarks.
Maybe a more helpful pointer to the same page, if you only want
documentation that I have found helpful (maybe a year or two ago).

This project is developed by Jari Sundell, "Rakshasa", a former
student of computer science, math and Japanese at the University
of Oslo. He can be reached on sundell.softw...@gmail.com, also an
unofficial help channel may be found at
##rtorr...@irc.freenode.net which should be used for
user-support.
If you didn't get a reply to a mail sent to this address, it may
either mean he is busy, has a rather full inbox or that you
should have searched the internet first.
Maybe the contact information is current.
Cool, thanks.
Also (option -h is "help"):
$ { rtorrent -h | head -1 ; rtorrent -h | tail -1 ; }
Rakshasa's BitTorrent client version 0.9.8.
Report bugs to <sundell.softw...@gmail.com>.

So the man page should be updated,
Definitely. And for more than one reason. Last message posted on

You ask:
does it belong to the distribution per se or how does that work?
If you mean, can debian change the man page they distribute, then I
believe the answer is absolutely yes. (Would not be debian-free
otherwise).
AFAICT, stable and testing do not currently differ. That is, for fixed ARCH
https://packages.debian.org/{stable,testing}/$ARCH/rtorrent/download#pdownloadmeta
look the same. (I did not check all ARCH).
