Hi Jonny,

I noticed this page has a date 2021-03-22 for the 5.13 at the footer.
At each release (actualy, a couple of commits before the release), we
run a script that, for each page, checks if a page has been modified
during that release.
If it hasn't been modified, the page will keep its old page timestamp.
If it has been modified, it will be updated with a timestamp
corresponding to the date of the to-be-released release.
So that date you're seeing is because malloc.3 hasn't been modified
since version 5.11 (which was released on 2021-03-22).
See below some tree view of the history of man3/malloc.3 including
releases to explain the above graphically.
But the release tarball is dated 27-Aug-2021
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/malloc.3.html
Possibly there is a reason the date is different?
Kind regards
Jonny
Cheers,
Alex
