As noted in #51441, this patch introduces a space character where one should not be, in the first hunk of the patch to groff_out.5.man.

"New sentences should be started on new lines.
This makes it easier to see the effect of patches,
which often operate at the level of individual sentences."

2) groff_diff(7) in package "groff":

"In GNU troff, as in UNIX troff, you should always follow a sentence
with either a newline or two spaces."

conventions.
