What I did was to copy the date from the original man page over to the markdown header: date: 2015-01-29 So the date visible in the man page doesn't change from what it was before (which in turn is a kind of meaningless value these days since we never bothered to keep it up to date in most cases) Other projects don't bother with the date, for instance systemd just drops in in the package version number in that space, which actually seems more usefull to me.
