Dear NFS maintainer,
the manpage-l10n project maintains a large number of translations of
man pages both from a large variety of sources (including NFS) as
well for a large variety of target languages.
During their work translators notice different possible issues in the
original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward
typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a
convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the
original.
We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at
least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some
distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss
the latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be
already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately
if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and
the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check
each and every issue.
Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format,
i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man,
groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where
possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into
your source format.
Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are
not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the
problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify
them.
I'm now reporting the errors for your project. I'm not repeating the
errors reported 2020-05-16, 2021-05-29, if you would like a full
report, please let me know. If future reports should use another
channel, please let me know as well.

This is probably fine.
But if it's possible to make these into patches against nfs-utils
(http://git.linux-nfs.org/?p=steved/nfs-utils.git;a=summary), and send
them to [email protected], cc'd to this list--that would probably get
the fastest response.

Sorry, given more than > 100 upstreams and very limited man power this
is not possible. I would be really glad if you could handle them, even
if this takes more time (better late than never).
Thanks for taking care!
