What specific section or headline is this issue about?

"Example" at the very top

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

"browser_specific_settings": {
  "gecko": {
    "id": "@addon-example",
    "strict_min_version": "58.0"
  }
}

What did you expect to see?

"browser_specific_settings": {
  "gecko": {
    "id": "@addon-example",
    "data_collection_permissions": { "required": ["none"] },
    "strict_min_version": "140.0"
  }
}

Alternatively, a more complex example could be presented with an "optional" key too.
But this is what most people will need.
I would also update the strict_min_version to 140 since data collection requires modern Firefox and 140 is the first ESR that supports it.
