Is someone assigned to be responsible for that part of the document? Or is
it informally maintained by everyone?

Or, to put it another way, is your objection to it based on not seeing any
communication value to it, or is it the fact that it frequently isn't
updated properly? If the former, then I would say either make sure it adds
value or remove it. If the latter, then it should be made into a writing
deliverable that has to be signed off like everything else in the document.

I'm actually talking about summaries of all the chapters at the
beginning of the document. The ones right before the chapter begins
tend to be updated, because they're more noticeable.
