As far as I know, the Gimp documentation is more-or-less a single person and help is really needed. The document is a rolling update from previous documents, so statements like that will eventually be replaced.

Maybe you could help with the updates, see:

Webp doesn't strike me as being vastly more efficient than JPEG...
