I recently added a HISTORY section to the Linux man-pages (chapters 2 and
3), and we moved there info that was scattered across various sections. If
your plan includes man2 and man3, you could maybe just contribute some
extra details to those pages' HISTORY section and you're done with that
part. We also produce a PDF book (this was done by Deri James from
gropdf): <https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/book/>.
