I'm unable to find it clearly mentioned as such in the current documentation
but it is a very longstanding GCC extension and it's referred to as such in
bugs dating back over 20 years, e.g. in
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5582#c2:

In the current documentation, it's sort of implied by the fact that
-Wuninitialized does not turn on -Winit-self automatically.
