In this case I did not find a mark in the manual page "generated by xyz", hence I could forward the patch.Also, I have had several reports that don’t apply to my project, because the faulty markup was generated by help2man.
Since a PR was opened on GitHub for this issue, I have applied it upstream, but I’m not sure it’s really a good use of maintainer time in general, when the issues seem mostly to be trivial. I would be happier if this sort of issue were brought to my attention by a linting pass when building the man pages, e.g. if it were a standard part of the GNU build system.
