You of course realise putting more demands on The Process of existing developers, who are in short supply, and their time is also in short supply, will, ultimately result in a detriment to the userbase, by virtue of them becoming less capable to achieve the same volume of tasks? Its one thing to make this a policy, which I think on the _surface_ is fine, but this one hints towards substantial changes we don't currently have tooling support to streamline. Maybe think about how we can empower developers to achieve this, and then after it becomes remotely practical to do this _at scale_, we make it policy to do so? Yes, yes, I'm suggesting something perverted like a build server or system for aggregating built man-pages on gentoo-servers automatically as part of CI, that end users can just trivially fetch. But that's just one approach, surely, there are others.
