You are welcome to open a doc-enhancement issue for the global docs.  For the other, as noted already if you want to advocate for a change to this behavior you need to start on python-ideas, but I don't think you will get any traction.

Another possible enhancement you could propose (in a new issue) is to have the global statement check for variables that start with '__' and do something appropriate such as issue a warning...although I don't really know how hard that would be to implement.
