It can be worded something like: "If additional useful patches exist in other distribution packages (ex: man pages in Debian), the package maintainer should evaluate them carefully, add those that are suitable and send them to the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Staying_close_to_upstream_projects upstream project] as well, It is highly recommended that the package maintainers consider writing a man page, especially for command line applications where good documentation is missing in the upstream project, It might be useful to talk to the upstream projects first and check whether they are willing to accept man pages or other forms of documentation as patches" Rahul -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
