Do you making a list of the missing pages? I've written quite a few
manpages for various programs, and I'm a really frequent user of the
already existing manpages, so I can hopefully help contributing a few
free replacements. Who knows, if they are good enough we might even
be able to convince upstream to replace the non-free versions.
