There's no page corresponding to the mdoc(7) you speak of in the
current groff repository in git
(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/man).

Any shortcomings in groff's documentation should be reported at the
groff bug tracker (http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=groff); a mere
mention on this list means it's likely to be later forgotten.  You can
create an account in this bug tracker, but opening a new bug report
doesn't require one, so there's a low barrier to entry.
