I didn't find any contact to the people who wrote find in man find so I am writing you. You know where you took the source from so please forward it. The thing one uses most often with find are the regexps. But man find doesn't contain their syntax. There are various versions of regexps in the world so googling also doesn't help - one is not sure if what he gets is really what is in the find. I suggest man find to contain section describing *the particular* regexp syntax find happens to have under a thick headline REGULAR EXPRESSION SYNTAX.

We won't be writing man pages for upstream, Gentoo developers do not have resources or time to do it. Sorry, this belongs upstream. http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/findutils.html
