My email was also sent to the users' list, however, it's not the users who
produce the code or the source tarball; it's the developers, hence sending my
email here.

I *am* serious about ClamAV, and I do subscribe to all the ClamAV mailing
lists, but I'm also human and we humans are known on occasion to have fallible
memories. Neither of those two statements alters the fact that the man pages
are wrong. I was simply passing on some information to the people who produce
the software and who might be interested in doing something about it.
If *you're* serious about ClamAV, you might want to reign in the unhelpful
comments.
I'm aware you have occasionally made helpful contributions to the list, but
you've also made your fair share of sarcastic, unnecessary and unhelpful
comments. If you've nothing nice to say, please don't say anything.
