I'll apply this on top of your patch since there's wording
changes, too:

Subject: [PATCH] doc: v2-format: get man output under 80 cols

We need to better ensure our manpage output is readable with a
standard terminal width.  And fix some wording while we're at
it:

* use "inbox" instead of "list" for our storage
* replace the last "$PART" reference with "$SHARD"
