Hm...  I wonder why man.el is overriding the colours?

Skimming the patch, it looks good to me, but some trivial comments:

Instead of removing the variable, mark it as obsolete instead.  (Users
may have code that references it in their .emacs files, and that
shouldn't bug out.)

Needs a :version.

Same thing with obsoletion here.

And same obsoletion thing here.
