Folks,
how can I find out the people reponsible for a given man page?
For example, there are some serious typos in amstex.1 (see the patch
below).
Shall I send patches to this list? Shall I fix it immediately in
TeXLive? I assume that the PDF files of the man pages are then
regenerated automatically, right?

The \*(AX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their
documents, rather than the form. The ideal, not always realized, is to
-have no formatting commands (like ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2
-picas'') in the document at all; instead, everything is done
-by specific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a section''.
