It contains obsolete management commands and is missing many new ones. I
am in favor of removing it as I think `django-admin --help` should be the
canonical location for this information and don't think duplicating it in
a manpage offers much benefit. Objections?

Comment (by aaugustin):

It may be useful for downstream e.g. Debian packagers. Can you seek input
from downstream maintainers or bring it up on django-developers?

Comment:

On the mailing list thread it was noted that sphinx should be able to
build a man page automatically from the reStructuredText documentation.

Comment:

This turns out to be quite simple to do with Sphinx (once you know how).
The resulting manpage looks fine to me, and is entirely autogenerated.

PR (with further details in comment):
https://github.com/django/django/pull/4255
As the PR notes, we may need to add some process to ensure we update this
timely from Sphinx.
