Use the man(7) macro `MR`, new to groff 1.23.0,
Given that this version of groff was released approximately yesterday¹, this is very premature.
NACK from me.
When the text of all Linux man-pages documents (excluding those containing only `so` requests) is dumped, with adjustment mode 'l' ("-dAD=l") and automatic hyphenation disabled ("-rHY=0") before and after this change, there is no change to rendered output.
That's not what I'm seeing with Debian groff 1.22.4-10 (which seems to have .MR backported).
After applying the patch, the man page references are typeset in italics, which is ugly and against man-pages(7) recommendations.
