Thanks, Alex! I have reached out to The Open Group via some contact form on their website; let's see if I'll get a reply from them.

The description in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages-posix.git/tree/README is also vague on the details of how and where exactly to obtain the troff sources. I'd really like to get back to a state where I can successfully type `man pthread_cond_wait` into a terminal on Fedora. Best, Christoph
