On: Why and How I Got My Own ASN

I like how he mentioned the fixes he did to BSD and even though they were cosmetic and man pages fix.

I always spot those small things, but I always feel silly submitting them on github since sometimes they feel so minor.

OpenBSD tends to really value high quality man pages.

However to submit a patch you have to email a diff to their mailing lists. They even prefer it inline vs as an attachment.

The GitHub repo linked in the post is just a read only mirror, not used by the OpenBSD project for development.

I think all of the BSDs appreciate thoughtful patches to improve the documentation. Most of the BSD devs are so deeply familiar with the OS that they do not have the perspective of an inexperienced user trying to read the docs and figure things out.
