RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-July/msg00251.html

I still need to get this included in RHEL 6.

    libvirtd: add man page for libvirtd

    With gracious thanks to Chris Lalancette for helping knock the
    description section into shape.

    This addresses BZ #595350

commit de7d4c6ae7b08db0e00a8250e4d0dff134702b4d
Author: Justin Clift <jclift>
Date:   Tue Jul 13 05:33:35 2010 +1000

    man pages: update authors and copyright notice for libvirtd and virsh

    This patch removes the individual author names from the libvirtd and virsh
    man pages, instead referring to the main AUTHORS file distributed with
    libvirt.  This approach is needed, as we can't guarantee unicode support
    across all versions of pod2man used with libvirt.

    Additionally, this patch includes the libvirtd man page in the spec file
    used with "make rpm".  Without this patch "make rpm" is broken.
