Hello Alex,

I too am thankful for your work, manpages were the only doc I had as a low level dev writing tools utilizing some of linux's niche system calls, literally wouldn't have managed without them.

I see you are somewhat active again, out of curiosity, did you find funding, or are you contributing some patches voluntarily once more?

Mind you I ain't assuming you are back as a maintainer just because you got some patches handled.

Thanks!
Fotis
