The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Description:

Currently the documentation reads:

This option is only meaningful for the plain-text format. 

This statement is imprecise. Actually the cownership has nothing to do with
the format, it is equally meaningul to create a dump without ownership
infomration for any format. Currently this is not possibel for any format
except plain, as the option is ignored. 

So, the cited sentence should be replaced with 'This option is ignored for
all formats except plain'. 

Would be much better to change the behavior of the utility to allow the
option for all formats, but htis is somewhat more than just documentaion
change.
