I asked him some time ago about the posix man pages and offered help with the
conversion.
He has interest in creating new posix man pages for the SUSV4 TC1. The status
from beginning of June was that he had contacted The Open Group asking for
permission. Possibly, we might get troff sources.
(He also told me that the conversion for the previous posix man pages were done
before he had become their maintainer.)
I CC'ed him so that he knows about this discussion.
