Hm.  Gnus has code to do that, and Emacs can do it for man pages,
too.  So you might be able to find some code there.  I'd start with
M-x apropos RET, then specify regular expressions such as the
following:

gnus.*bold
article.*bold
treat.*bold
bold.*treat

Hm.  There is the function Man-cleanup-manpage.  It's also a command.
