Timeout for the first byte indeed, but more generally for each chunk
of the response until the end of stream (should the response be sent
in multiple/successive pieces of data).
Actually this is an incomplete response inactivity timeout.

+1, will ask in the PR a feedback as well but it looks simple and complete.

"In mod_cgi (and mod_cgid), the length of time to wait for any
individual block of output from a CGI script."

"the time to wait for response data, either the first bytes or each
subsequent pieces of data as emitted by the CGI script." ?

Yes it makes sense, what about the following description:
" ..the length of time to wait for any sign of activity from the CGI
script, like the first byte of the output or any block of bytes emitted by
the CGI script."

mod_proxy_fcgi too (if ProxyTimeout is not set).
Thanks!
