Who makes editorial decisions about changes to the devguide? For example, in the Core Developers / Responsibilities section, there’s this:
Mailing Lists
You are expected to subscribe to python-committers, python-dev, python-checkins, and one of new-bugs-announce or python-bugs-list.
Is this really still the case? It doesn’t seem up to date now that we have this forum. For instance:
Wouldn’t python-checkins
be too noisy for most people to subscribe to?
python-bugs-list
doesn’t appear to be updated since the move to GitHub issues, so it should probably no longer be mentioned here.
python-dev
is moving to here.
Also on that page, there’s another issue related to core developer workflow which I’ve already posted about here .
Of course I can work up suggested changes in these areas and submit a PR, but this seems to be the place to discuss what should go in that PR.
For most things, you can just open an issue at Issues · python/devguide · GitHub . More controversial changes can be brought up and discussed where they are more likely to be seen by interested parties – like this forum.

That’s completely outdated. python-dev discussions moved to the Core Dev category of dicuss.python.org
By the way, I don’t know new-bugs-announce and python-bugs-list lists, and I was never subscribed to python-checkins.
