I actuall suggest disclaimer-zh-TW.rst being modified like how zh_CN do:

# zh_TW/disclaimer-zh_TW.rst
:orphan:

.. note::
     此文件的目的是讓中文讀者更容易閱讀與理解,而不是作為一個分支。
     因此,如果您對此文件有任何意見或更新,請先嘗試更新原始英文文件。
     如果您發現本文件與原始文件有任何不同,或有翻譯問題,請向
     該文件的譯者提交建議或補丁,或請求中文文件維護者與審閱者的協助。

That's it.

(The Spanish and Italian versions are also a good example and
reference.)

Or, if you perfer mentioning MAINTAINERS file:

# zh_TW/disclaimer-zh_TW.rst
:orphan:

.. note::
     此文件的目的是讓中文讀者更容易閱讀與理解,而不是作為一個分支。
     因此,如果您對此文件有任何意見或更新,請先嘗試更新原始英文文件。
     如果您發現本文件與原始文件有任何不同,或有翻譯問題,請向
     該文件的譯者提交建議或補丁,或請求中文文件維護者與審閱者的協助,
     詳見 MAINTAINERS 檔案。


The current version has both a '..warning' and a '..note' , but there
does not seem to be much difference between their contents. (In the
Japanese version, they have both a note and a warning, but the contents
of the two are different.)  I really do not understand why we need two
separate blocks here.

(I noticed that other languages use red warning, except zh_CN. I
personally think a grey "note" block is enough, though.)
