The notes in the online manual are piling up again.  The job of managing
these things is much much too big for a small group of people.  What do
you guys think of the idea of making it possible for individuals to
register themselves as maintainers of individual manual pages?

That is, I might decide that I know just about everything there is to know
about the strlen() function.  So I sign up to maintain any notes submitted
to that particular page.  (Surprisingly there are quite a few notes on the
strlen() page)

And it should be possible for multiple people to sign up to maintain the
notes for a particular page just to have some redundancy.  What it would
mean is that whenever a noe is submitted to that page the people signed up
as maintainers would get an email and it would then be their job to
evaluate the note and decide if it should be rolled into the
documentation, left as a note or deleted.

Thoughts?
