Those are indeed grammatical errors. From a quick eyeball scan, this
file has other wording issues:

/*
 * Ignore already-found names.  They are not reachable by the
 * path search, so don't shown them.
 */

"show"

/*
 * The directory parameter can be omitted, absolute, or relative to the
 * installation's base directory, which can be the sharedir or a custom
 * path that it was set extension_control_path. It depends where the
 * .control file was found.
 */

I imagine this means "or a custom path that was set via extension_control_path".

/*
 * Return a list of directories declared on extension_control_path GUC.
 */

I would guess this normally phrased something like "Return the list of
directories in extension_control_path".
