First, please use "MS-Windows" instead of "W32".

More importantly, I think we should document the Registry entry the
user needs to tweak, and how to define it, in order to install GDB as
a JIT debugger.  In other words, the above does not explain enough
about the expected use of this command, which (AFAIU) is from the GDB
command line using the -ex switch, which I understand is the only way
to get hold of the mysterious ID parameter this command needs.

This, too, is too vague to be useful.  After you show the full
description for the manual of how to use this command, I can help you
making its short variant for the documentation string of the command.

Thanks.
