I don't have the authority to commit?  This is something new to me.
I wouldn't commit this myself if you'd tell me you will.  I didn't
hear any ACKs from you.

I'm not the big boss, I've just taken the responsibility of keeping
the FreeBSD mdoc(7) manpages in a good shape.  So, the true meaning
of my words isn't what you're trying to make them sound like, but
rather "I'm the responsible, so if you don't fix it I will, nevermind".
IOW, "I don't push you to commit the fixes, I was just trying to
explain what's wrong with your commit and what else should be done,
in a hope your future commits will handle these better."
