I generally think "release early, release often" is a good plan.

May I suggest bumping to 1.23?  I know groff doesn't practise strict
semver, but this would be justified in that scheme (there are several
new features).  More generally, I feel that there's no particular reason
to be nervous of bumping the minor number, especially given how long
it's been since 1.22.
