  1. It's is valid American English for possession.
  2. contrib/ isn't ours and changes would need to be made upstream.

Check your Strunk and White, under "Commonly Misused Words".
"It's" is a contraction for "it is" or "it has". "Its" is the possessive form for the pronoun "it".

Regarding the manual page, I have reached out to Vitaly Magerya ⟨magv@tx97.net⟩, and he has agreed to update the document, though I didn't get a timeline.

Abandoning this revision. Will wait for the upstream fix.
