GNU systems should learn the OpenBSD way of writing manuals.

Not so sure the GNU outfit has anything to do with these man pages.
They'd have written it all in info!!!!

But here ....

$ man -s5 -k proc | grep ^proc
proc (5)             - process information pseudo-filesystem
procfs (5)           - process information pseudo-filesystem
procmailex (5)       - procmail rcfile examples
procmailrc (5)       - procmail rcfile
procmailsc (5)       - procmail weighted scoring technique
$

is all I get on a reasonably upto date Devuan (debian based) system.

But the "man -s 5 proc" page is huge 4520 lines!

"Linux man-pages 6.03            2023-02-10                          proc(5)"

Mind you there are a lot of proc filesystem entries to document. Not
sure what the OP is implying - not documenting them?
