That external piece of documentation would be part of the Linux man-pages project, maintained by Michael Kerrisk. I have submitted a few revisions of the rseq(2) man page, but have been waiting for Michael to reply for more than a year now:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/2021826204.69809.1588000508294.JavaMail.zimbra@efficios.com
I'm thinking about hosting a rseq(2) man-page into my librseq project, would that make sense ?
librseq is currently a development branch in my own repository for now. It still needs to be tweaked to adapt to the various changes that went into the glibc rseq enablement patchset, and then I plan to move it to a more "formal" home:

Thanks,
Mathieu
