[issue22021] shutil.make_archive() root_dir do not work

Hello Berker Peksag,

1. For now, I realize the comment of David.

This is not a bug of make_archive() implementation.

However, I think documentation is not clear to understand at the first time reading it.

Maybe it should be rephrased.

2. Actually, what I am looking in this function is able to output the archive to another directory rather than current directory.

But, this functionality is not provided.

I think this functionality will be useful if implemented.

What do you think about this?

Thank you for your explaination.
