I'm sorry I don't know what the issues are... I've only seen 6 or 7 integrations for minor bug fixes come in through the opensolaris community. I admit that I did not verify whether or not those fixes needed man page changes. My assumption was that if they did a bug was filed by the sponsor to address the work.
I'd be happy to help gather info on the issues. I've cc'd Bonnie Corwin in case she has input on this issue.
