1) What do you want to do? I'm asking this because it decides whether this change could be interesting for others or not. 2) Does it affect only Debian-specific man pages, or man pages in general? This answer decides if the change is a relatively small one (1 or 2 packages), or if you'll have to contact every upstream project to get the changes included. 3) For any change you want to do & submit an patch for you should read up on groff/troff, as that syntax is the base for man.
