Sounds good to me. I'm assuming it would be some kind of build step
that would take the man pages and add them to what linux-doc needs?

Fwiw, there has been some effort to try to improve the wiki:
https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
For example, the useful links are now broken apart and have more
links, there is a work-in-progress glossary. Perhaps there can be some
guidance on what to capture and where.

Thanks,
Ian
