Hi
I've been playing with libdrm and I've notice it has a significant lack of documentation. I'd like to contribute to the documentation for it, but from googling I simply not sure who to contact about either libdrm or about writing man pages for it. I.e.
Is this right, if not, can someone please point me in the right direction?
EDIT - Fixed the subject line.

You may contact the maintainers at:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libdrm-amdgpu1
Something looks to be rolling here:

anyhow, the installed version comes with plenty man pages:
