Thanks for the PR!

This mostly comes down to personal preference, and it doesn't match with my personal preferences, I'm gonna pass.

Fear not! If you want to use these settings, you can just add your settings to your vimrc in an autogroup:

augroup vmanSettings
  au!
  au FileType man setlocal noshowmode
  au FileType man setlocal noruler
  au FileType man setlocal laststatus=0
  au FileType man setlocal noshowcmd
augroup END

Honestly, this is probably the way that I should have written this whole Vim plugin from the start (this was my very first Vim plugin, so I didn't really know what I was doing 😅).

Also, if you're trying to make reading man pages look more aesthetic / minimal, you might want to look into Goyo!

It's billed as "distraction free writing" but it served equally well for "distraction free reading."

Good points indeed.)) Thanks for the link to goyo, it might become a proper solution for me.
