Yes, can do.  This way, the script will be available to anyone who
wants it.  It doesn't sound like the euca2ools project any longer has
interest in producing mdoc man pages, but since it came up early in
my search for such a conversion tool, someone else looking for one may
find it there.  

Many thanks for your diligence.

Matt was kind enough to respond, here is what he said:

[ChristianEhrhardt]

Arrr,
people participating should be encouraged. IMHO it was right by Josh that this 
should be fixed upstream to tickle down into all projects.
But I tried to contribute or even ping there fore you - what a hell of a ride.
Account Creation -> no access (that sounds like what you had).
Trying to find an email of the bug assignee or any other way to let people know 
- like a maze.

Overall this thing seems dead to me, with an inactive project lead listed as 
lead on [1].
And it seems to me the issues in reporting a but or comment could be lack of 
maintenance on the Jira tracker for it.

Nothing gave me any chance to do [2] comments.
I found the opener of the report [3] on github with a collection of euca repos 
which seems reasonable confirmation that he is the "one" - Hi Matt!

By following [4] I contacted him directly, so I hope he can help you to
contribute there or at least pick up your changes from here for the
issue.

Odd case ...

For the chance of [1] being the same person I added him here - sorry if
you are a different one.

Hi Joshua,

Thanks, but I hereby give up.

I tried to open an account there.  I think I *did* create an account,
but that doesn't give me access to that project.  

I wrote the script.  I posted it.  The project doesn't offer any
contact information, let alone an email address.  If they want any
help, they have an odd way of showing it.  

If some human being contacts me with a willingness to work, instead of
bureaucratic blah-di-blah, I'll be happy to get involved.  But filling
out forms and opening useless accounts is why I left corporate
America.

Kind regards,

[Joshua Powers]

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to file a bug and the development work.
My suggestion is to open an account on the upstream atlassian site you
linked to and submit a comment there with your fix. We only track ubuntu
bugs here it would be better if your work were included directly in the
upstream source, then we would get your update code on the next update
of euca2ools.
