These are all described in the patch for the manual, right?  If so,
the entries should be marked with "+++", see the beginning of NEWS for
instructions about that.

> +@itemize
> +@item @code{"gnu.org.gpg"} : No username or port in the filename means that any username and port will match.
> +@item @code{"gnu.org/rms.gpg"} : The username to match can be expressed as filename inside a directory whose name matches the host. This is useful if the store has passwords for several users on the same host.
> +@item @code{"rms@@gnu.org.gpg"} : The username can also be expressed as a prefix, separated from the host with an at-sign (@code{@@}).
> +@item @code{"gnu.org:22.gpg"} : The port (aka. service) to match can only be expressed after the host and separated with a colon (@code{:}). The separator can be changed through the @code{auth-source-pass-port-separator} variable.
> +@item @code{"gnu.org:22/rms.gpg"}
> +@item @code{"rms@@gnu.org:22.gpg"}
> +@item @code{"a/b/gnu.org.gpg"} : Entries can be stored in arbitrary directories.
> +@item @code{"a/b/gnu.org/rms.gpg"}
> +@item @code{"a/b/rms@@gnu.org.gpg"}
> +@item @code{"a/b/gnu.org:22.gpg"}
> +@item @code{"a/b/gnu.org:22/rms.gpg"}
> +@item @code{"a/b/rms@@gnu.org:22.gpg"}
> +@end itemize

Please make the text describing each @item start on a new line.  Also,
it sounds like you want @table here, not @itemize.  And finally,
quoting in @code is sub-optimal; would @samp (and losing the quotes)
do the job?

> +@defvar auth-source-pass-filename
> +Set this variable to a string locating the password store on the
> +disk. Defaults to @code{"~/.password-store"}.

File names or their parts should have the @file markup, not @code.

Thanks.
