 Is there a need for manual pages in upstream?

 Some time ago I built a Debian packages for 0.8.1 and posted the results
 to Debian bugtracker. After three weeks of waiting i didn't get any
 responce so I'm trying to find a sponsor. Source package is available on
 [http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/buildbot mentors.debian.net]

 Debian packages require a manpage for every binary or script in $PATH so I
 wrote those manpages to replace outdated manpage from previous buildbot
 package (0.7.12). Manpages are available in
 [http://github.com/jollyroger/buildbot/commit/f1d959e429cc9a1843765e1b9d9b30f4a828aef0
 my github branch ]

 One reason to push these into upstream is that manpages give a short and
 quick reference on available command-line options and accepted arguments
 unlike info documentation which is more tutorial than reference.
