What do you think of moving the pages in the tzdb repository into man/man*/ directories? I see your repository is perfectly flat, so I don't know if there are strong reasons for that, or if it's just innertia.
To be fair, inertia itself is a strong reason....
I wouldn't mind renaming the man pages, though I'd get rid of the "new" prefixes while we're at it. However, I worry that other downstream users would be adversely affected. Perhaps others could chime in.
Not seeing any obvious man[1358] references in Linux distro RPM specs/builds: presumably rely on man-pages. Gentoo reported https://bugs.gentoo.org/920035 sys-libs/timezone-data: installs man3 manpages without corresponding libraries. Some BSDs seem to customize utilities and man pages (or use old releases) based on online man pages. What about updating glibc/manual/time.texi, and are any (non-info) docs or man pages generated from that in any distro or downstream? -- Take care.
