Looks reasonable to me. Could BlockingDeque::push() just use {@inheritDoc} for main body doc?

Perhaps. But as I wrote many years ago in the same source file,

/*
 * We have "diamond" multiple interface inheritance here, and that
 * introduces ambiguities.  Methods might end up with different
 * specs depending on the branch chosen by javadoc.  Thus a lot of
 * methods specs here are copied from superinterfaces.
 */

We found that @inheritDoc is far too often not exactly what we wanted.
