This is correct - but then someone would have to use time to write that 
documentation _and keep it up-to-date_. So far, nobody volunteered.
You should feel free to add your newly gained information to the
existing incomplete documentation. :)

This is how open-source works - there is no "boss/management"
that can put someone on the less popular jobs.
No matter how useful this might be.
You want something extra - driver or docs - you make it.
