Description
### Description
> A brief description of the Documentation Improvement or New Section request.
In the docs I can see:
```
Also attributes having ignorables in the license text:
- `ignorable_urls`
- `ignorable_copyrights`
- `ignorable_authors`
- `ignorable_holders`
- `ignorable_emails`
```
but these aren't explained. What do these mean? Are they used during matching or are they simply not reported (but matched)?
