Research direction
Start by reviewing the migrated BPO issue 42980 and the referenced pull request 24275, since the issue body provides no files, tests, or implementation entry point. Clarify the expected GNU-style help formatter behavior from that discussion; completion would require an agreed implementation and verification of the resulting formatter behavior.
