It looks like even though the commit e5253fdc4f that added the parallel_leader_participation GUC correctly categorized it as RESOURCES_ASYNCHRONOUS parameter in the code, but in the docs it is kept under irrelevant section i.e. "Query Planning/Other Planner Options". This is reported in the bugs list [1], cc-ed the reporter.
Attaching a small patch that moves the GUC description to the right place. Thoughts?
