[Yum] trying to clarify the plethora of mailing lists, and when to bugzilla stuff

i'm still trying to catch back up after having been away
from fedora for a while, so a short question to make sure
i'm posting to the right place(s) from now on.
on a new and updated install of RHEL (actually centos) 6.5,
i'm working through the RH docs and the "rpm" command, and the
man page for rpm seems to have some historical cruft in it, but
i'm not sure where (or if) to report that.
specifically, for rpm 4.8, the tail end of the man page
reads:
rpmrc Configuration
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc
/etc/rpmrc
~/.rpmrc
pretty sure those two middle files:
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc
/etc/rpmrc
don't exist anymore, so at the very least, that version of
the rpm man page looks wrong, and i *think* even the latest
version contains the same outdated info. and the next two
FILES sections look they need similar updating -- the Macro
Configuration and Databases lists look a little out of date.
so ... where does one find the *latest* man pages online
to compare against? (as i said, RHEL 6.5 has rpm 4.8, so it's
not clear if this has already been resolved.)
also, as an alternative to bugzilla, i'm quite happy to
submit git-diff type patches, but i'm not sure what i'd
be patching against -- where does one checkout the latest
sources?
just trying to figure out the best way to be helpful.
