Oh wow.  The option has already been provided since Dec 2020 and
i totally missed it.  It appears you have a large team working on
maintaining system-man and the related ebuilds including man-db, groff,
and mandoc.  Thank you, that seems quite useful.  Getting real-world
usage in diverse environments is beneficial to keep up the stability
and reliability of a software packages.  And i believe Gentoo is still
significantly different from many other major Linux distributions in
a number of ways.

So i just updated these with respect to Gentoo,
better late than never:
