I don't think that is the job of CSV docs.  Appending is a general skill and not specific to that module.

Likewise, the CSV module docs don't cover other general file manipulation skills like closing, using seek() to rewind, manipulating filenames and paths, setting permissions, etc.

The csv.writer docs seem reasonable to me:

"""Return a writer object responsible for converting the user’s data into delimited strings on the given file-like object. csvfile can be any object with a write() method."""
