How to? Submit a new or ammended man page

Re-posted due to no replies 


Having spent some time trying to get the onboard sound working on an Intel
845G M/B I eventually worked my way to the ich sound driver.  If there had
been a man page for it, I'd probably have discovered this more quickly.

Anyway, although still very much a newbie when it come to FreeBSD I've
created what I think may be the basics of a man page for this driver.

The question is, how and who do i submit it to?  The doc project page says
they don't do man pages.

If anyone on this list would like to comment on the content and or handle
it, then here it is:

Look at the groff_man(7) manual page for a description of the format of
manpages. Or look in the source, e.g.

/usr/src/share/man/man4/ichsmb.4

(Which, btw, looks a lot like what you created below)

 The question is, how and who do i submit it to?  The doc project page says
 they don't do man pages.

The usual way to supply patches is through the send-pr(1) mechanism.

cheers,
Ruben
