Previously, many people confused these for actual parameters, since it's
hard to distinguish a ',' from ';'. By removing bold/italics from
these, it will be easier to distinguish them.
The cases have been found with a script:
$ find -type f \
| xargs grep -l '^\.TH ' \
| sort \
| xargs mansect SYNOPSIS \
| man /dev/stdin \
| grep -e '^[^ ]' -e '[^ ]( [^ )].*[^)];' \
| less;

This information is better placed in the git logs, not in the source
code itself. For people interested in the old history of pages, before
we used git, they will probably look at old versions of these pages,
like for example man-pages-1.70, or the 'prehistory' branch, and there
they'll find these notes.
Keep the names and emails of contributors in a new CREDITS file.

The root of the repository is becoming a bit overpopulated and
unorganized, due to the recent addition of more mandirs, and more
informative and configuration files too. Let's create a specific
mandir <man/> that contains the mandirs <man[1-8]*>.
