Comment (by aaugustin):

 There is already a short explanation for 'weak' here:
 http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/signals/#module-
 django.db.models.signals

 If it should be set to False only for local functions, this explanation is
 sufficient.

 ----

 On the other hand, the docs do not mention dispatch_uid at all. There is a
 note in the wiki, which could (should?) be moved to the signal
 documentation:
 
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Signals#Helppost_saveseemstobeemittedtwiceforeachsave

 I found #3951 and that wiki page after a long pdb session, trying to
 understand why my handlers were called twice...

 ----

 send_robust and disconnect only have docstrings, as far as I can tell. So
 currently it's RTFS :)
