That was decided over a year ago.  It takes hundreds of hours of
manpower to update the complete docs.

I thought that lilypond always assumes that it's a Voice context.

Unfortunately you missed the golden opportunity to be trained on
this, since the Grand Documentation Project ended a few months
ago.  It takes anywhere from 2 to 10 hours of training for a new
volunteer to be able to contribute to the docs, depending on the
type of contribution.

If you're serious about helping, please start reading the docs for
contributors to see how to get started.
