Dear Maintainer,

I recently installed the gomuks Matrix client and, since I didn't know
how to use it, I found out that the there isn't a manual page for this
software.

Upstream doesn't provide a manual page, but this is still a Debian
policy violation [1].

I don't want to blame you, but I think a manual page would be very
useful. For instance to learn the keyboard shortcuts, which aren't
obvious and they aren't listed in the program help section either.
Moreover the package doesn't even include a basic README file.

I would be happy to write the man page myself, since I plan to learn and
use this software for several months. Would you be interested in working
together?
