If this is only referring to NPM, couldn't it be referenced by name, and not a "*"?

I could do that if you want me to.
Wanted to raise attention that it is a special case as soon as you read the entry in the table.

It’s your call, I’m not a CODEOWNER, so it’s up to you :-).

Thanks for the suggestion but there is quite a lot of history here, the npm team does not support and discourages this (though they believe it's not their place to tell us).

Due to the situation here I believe this change cannot land. See nodejs/corepack#418 for more details. |

Understood the situation is complicated. |
After reading https://www.totaltypescript.com/how-to-use-corepack, I realized that the Corepack docs page has some shortfalls:
corepack enable npm) is never mentioned anywhere.With this PR, I believe to correct the docs according to the current implementation. If you anyways plan to change it, feel free to close.
