There's a long list of formatting-for-Doxygen patches in Berts fork. Review for typos -> cherry-pick to master -> push. Easy as cake.

Reading your answer my question is (and this is by no means intended as 
a cheap shot), why don't you do something? If it is that easy.

Nevertheless, I hear you, and I'm working my way into the sources of 
pcb. But what is holding me back to go full force, is the feeling I will 
be the onlyone pulling on a dead (or slowed down) project.
In the end gEDA+pcb are means to get work done.

No matter how you look at it, if a project has momentum (activity), you 
will be more convinced that you have made the right choice to spend your 
precious time on that project.

Cheers, Robert.
