This doesn't even tell me how i am supposed to invoke dmarc-cat or
point it to specific files.  Given the name "cat", i'd imagine i can
feed it documents on stdin, but that doesn't work.

having some minimal documentation would be useful!

Thanks for maintaining dmarc-cat in debian,

this is a bit unusual: typically, this section is called `OPTIONS`. See
the man-pages(7) manual page.

"AUTHOR" is also refered to as "AUTHORS" in the aforementioned
man-pages(7), but its use is Discouraged. COPYRIGHT similarly comes
after AUTHORS and says "Not used". I would typically just keep "AUTHORS"
and elide the copyright altogether, especially if you intend to break up
the copyright per section like this... It feels a bit weird to assign
copright to specific sections like that, for example.

I certainly don't see how I own the copyright on the OVERVIEW section,
in any case.

Sorry for the legal nitpicking...
