I think we can re-generate them once before branch-off in a couple of weeks, but generally, they will always be outdated by a bit, because master is the development branch and they are primarily generated for release branches.

It's not generally necessary to open issues about this. When to do man page updates is specified in the release process.
And there are never releases from the master branch, so we don't end up updating the manual pages there.

partially agreed.
for release-process, its fine, but some users (build from source) can be little confused when they see the manpages.

Another option would be to remove the pre-generated manpages from the master branch completely, forcing people to generate themselves if they want manpages.
