    Funding restored for man-page maintenance

    Description:
    Man pages maintainer Alejandro Colomar announced in September that he was suspending
    his work due to a lack of support. He has now let
    it be known that funding has been found for the next year at least: We've
    been talking for a couple of months, and we have already
    agreed to sign a contract through the LF [Linux Foundation], where
    a number of companies provide the funds for the contract. The
    contract will cover the next 12 months for the agreed amount, and
    we should sign it in the following days. Since I've already seen a
    draft of the contract, and it looks good, I've already started
    maintaining the project again, starting on Nov 1st.
