I found that in the documentation thanks to a notification
off-list. And after some reconfirmation, what I want to fix is
only a few lines of comment in pg_hba.conf.sample.
-# database name, or a comma-separated list thereof. The "all"
-# keyword does not match "replication". Access to replication
-# must be enabled in a separate record (see example below).
+# database name, or a comma-separated list thereof. The "all" keyword
+# matches all databases. The "replication" keyword matches a physical
+# replication connection request and it must be enabled in a separate
+# record (see example below)
regards.

Subject: [PATCH] Clarify the comments about "all" and "replication" in
pg_hba.conf.sample
In the explanetory comments in the pg_hba.conf.sample file looks a bit
misleading. Clarify the meaning of "all" and "replication" keywords by
make database name distinctive from keywords.
