I haven't finished my docproj install yet, but is there a way to use
sgmlformat to split troff code?

If such a thing is not possible, or can not be instructed to spit out
troff code that does not break the usual manpage style, there is always
the chance that some crazy guy like me can convert commiters guide to
-mandoc and keep the thing up to date as changes to committers-guide
are submitted.

I think I could try the conversion and put the commiters(9) online
somewhere for review before some kind commiter soul brings it in the
source tree.

I don't believe what I just said.
