Looks like a good option, I've done something along these lines for the
next release:

https://salsa.debian.org/bod/help2man/-/commit/4c9f1ade4b1f8146bcabe16eeb200ed26cbaa257

Apologies for the delayed response, I was out of the country for most of
December and January, and have finally got a chance to get back to this
now.

There are a handful of other changes to go in which I'm still working
on, but hopefully should get a new release out soonish.
