Not directly related to your patch but... asciidoctor 1.5.8, really?
That version is 8 years old. Looks like we set that version in
615a6c37e1 (ci: stick with Asciidoctor v1.5.8 for now, 2019-03-29)
due to some issues with the then-new-ish v2.0.0.

But these days I'd guess everybody is using v2.0.x (which seems to work
fine) for local builds. We probably ought to do the same in CI. If we
have to catch issues in one, I'd rather it be the one people are likely
to actually use.

Ah, indeed. It was fixed in f6461b82b9 (Documentation: fix build with
Asciidoctor 2, 2019-09-15). The thread here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190915212621.GV11334@genre.crustytoothpaste.net (local)

suggests that it could be removed, but was just waiting on a few more
fixes for the v2 series. I guess nobody ever circled back around to it.
