Found two issues. Maybe textproc/igor and "mandoc -Tlint" will find some more.

usr.sbin/bsdinstall/bsdinstall.8

usr.sbin/bsdinstall/bsdinstall.8
265	This has been committed in rS354967

Yes, but we usually change it once all issues are cleared up and then it becomes the date of the commit. For people who don't have a commit bit, it will be done by the person doing the commit.
