Well, you are not responsible for the GDB documentation; I am.

If we are going to allow committing undocumented code, I would ask to
install some procedures to make sure it gets documented eventually.
For now, I don't have any practical suggestion for such procedures,
and I cannot be responsible for a job that other maintainers and
contributors are preventing me to do well.  Please be fair and
understand where I'm coming from.

Then why have the manual in the first place?  Let them use the
sources.
