Do you want to document that new syntax using @{} was introduced in Version 2.17?
You can open pull-request in GitHub and fix it right there. First of all please check the git history of parameter {{argLine}} in class {{AbstractSurefireMojo}}.
We plan a new release of 2.20. Do you want me to include your fix in 2.20?

> The documentation for the argLine parameter [here|http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html] indicates "since v2.1" and the description refers to the @{argLine} syntax but doesn't mention that you have to be using surefire-maven-plugin v2.17 or greater for that functionality to work. See "SUREFIRE-1047 - Add @{...} property evaluation for the argLine".
> Probably the [goal arguments page|http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html] plus the FAQ page that it links to should be updated with a mention of the minimum required maven-surefire-plugin version.
> I noticed this while experiencing issue "SUREFIRE-1273". Resolution of that issue should have been simple but I was on surefire-maven-plugin v2.12 and the documentation made it appear that @{argLine} was supported since v2.1. I needed to upgrade but there wasn't any obvious indication of that.
