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".
