As per https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/appendix, the OED states that:
To me, the use of "appendixes" in the text reads as incorrect. However, Mirriam-Webster doesn't seem to make a strong recommendation between the two, so it's possible that this sense of incorrectness stems from the fact that I'm a native British-English speaker.
I like to try to contribute small spelling and grammar fixes when I'm reading docs. However, this correction is perhaps a matter of personal style to some degree. I'd argue that fewer people will have the nagging sense of "that's a mistake" when reading "appendices" than "appendixes" though, so I'll put this change to the maintainers for consideration.
