That website is maintained as a project separate from Git, so you can report issues specific to the website, or create pull requests, at its project page (https://github.com/git/git-scm.com), however...

Those manual pages are generated from documentation sources in the Git project, thus those fixes should be submitted to Git itself, not to the website project. Changes to Git are sent to this mailing list as patches (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches), although see gitgitgadget[1], which acts as a Github pull-request-to-Git-mailing-list gateway, as a possible alternative.
