*man* documents generated by *rst2man*  have some indication that they were automatically generated but I would prefer to see more information along these lines.

Here's the status quo.
~~~
.\" Man page generated from reStructuredText.
.\" body of man page follows
.\" Generated by docutils manpage writer.
.
~~~

In my opinion, the comments should be coalesced at the top of the document and include tool versioning information.

More like this:

~~~
.\" Man page generated from reStructuredText by rst2man
.\" from docutils 0.21rc1.
~~~
