Sorry, but this is a bug tracker, not a "look for my favorite commit"
service.

Please understand that those manpages are packaged at Debian in a
separate source package named just "manpages", and the changes you
originally asked about are there in Lunar, but not in 22.04 and 22.10.

New upstream versions are normally not backported to stable releases.
That's true in both Debian and Ubuntu.

If someone want's to cherry pick some important change, and propose that
an Ubuntu stable release is updated with it, anybody is free to follow
the instructions in this guide:
