These forms submit plain text - submitting markdown makes them more
difficult to review. In particular the link format doesn't play well with
my mail reader's link auto-detection.

Such documentation is nonexistent, not incomplete. The provided unit file
for systemd doesn't use pg_ctl, I suppose presumably for this or a similar
reason. It uses the postgres binary directly.
Such, I'm not seeing a bug here (I suppose a comment pointing out that/why
pg_ctl is not used might be in order). I'm not opposed to possibly adding
more detail or alternatives to this part of the documentation - though the
number of people doing their own unit files is few compared to those using
ones bundled in a package - but the lack or responders seems to suggest
such effort is not high on anyone's list.
