Traditionally this would exclude "manpage"-related PRs, being
limited to the tutorials, FAQ, and handbook. The separation has
always seemed kind of strange to me... I am familiar with the
"the programmers should document the programs" argument, but the
same argument can be made equally well for a lot of the material
covered by the handbook and the tutorials.
Does anyone on the -doc list actually object to being more
consistent and treating all doc PRs the same way?
Particularly in the long-term, I think, a lot of the problems
with the handbook/FAQ apply to the manpages, too. As an example
of their inter-relation, consider ports(7), which relates to not
one, but two sections of the handbook.
