Acknowledged. At some point in the past 3 years, Doug created a Savannah
account. I can't actually change who the "Submitter" is, though, or I'd take
care of that.
In the meantime
[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2026-09/msg00002.html I did propose
a patch to the list] (that's the second message you cited above), and asked
for feedback, so I'm tagging this ticket "[PATCH]" and shifting its state to
"Need Info".
