Is MDN wrong for the main html tag in their documentation?

I stumbled over MDN docs and saw that they said that it’s normal to use the main tag in article elements, and W3 says that it should not be deductive at all in the article element.

MDN:

You can use several elements <main>on one page when it makes sense to do this. For example, if you have a page that represents several articles (each inside an element <article>,

W3:

Note. A document must have no more than one element <main>. Element <main>should NOT be a descendant of <article>, <aside>, <footer>, <header>or <nav>.

I want others to help me confirm if this is correct, and if so, how can I contact MDN about this? I looked at their github and there is no place to report problems, or contact us - it's just about firefox, the legality of using the logo or donation. What is the right channel for supporting documentation?

In the upper info boxes on the MDN page:

Allowed Parents: Any item that accepts the contents of a stream (WHATWG). However, the W3C specification does not allow use <main>as a child <article>, <aside>, <footer>, <header>or <nav>.
