System.Drawing.Common xml docs limited after .NET 6.0
See original GitHub issue @JeremyKuhne
Yes, the absence of a README is certainly unfortunate, but there is a much more significant issue - the lack of documentation (hints in Visual Studio) for most elements from System.Drawing.Common:
I quickly checked the NuGet packages and found that starting from Net6, the XML file has been significantly slimmed down:

System.Drawing.Common uses the intellisense package as the rest of the winforms repository: https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/blob/89f89590ddb6910cc1605ba430b5b72f3ed54fab/src/System.Drawing.Common/src/packaging.targets#L111-L117
The lookup path is here: https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/blob/89f89590ddb6910cc1605ba430b5b72f3ed54fab/eng/packageContent.targets#L6
System.Drawing.Common.xml exists under that path meaning that System.Drawing.Common in winforms should use the “correct” documentation intellisense XML file. All that said, ideally winforms would switch over to compiler generated XML files in the future.
@kirsan31 Can you validate that you see the “better” IntelliSense in 8.0?
