I wrote some suggestions to Guido and he, understandably, told me

I figured that one thing I'm complaining about is the absense of a FAQ
for IDLE development. I assume there isn't one (or is there? where?).
So I thought I'd have a go at compiling one.
I have a list of questions, and I'm wondering if people on the list
can help me fill it in? Then I'll host it somewhere, but ideally it
would be good to get it onto the python.org site.
So the current questions I'd like to have in the FAQ.
Q : Where can I check-out the current state of IDLE development?
What does 'current state of Idle development' mean to you.
A : ...
Q : Who do I submit patches to?
The tracker.
A : Terry Reedy (I guess).
As of now, add terry.reedy as nosy.
Q : How can I signal that I have a patch for someone to look at?
Upload a patch to an issue. All people on the nosy list get notified.
Mark keyword 'patch' so the issue appears on this search.
http://bugs.python.org/issue?%40search_text=&ignore=file%3Acontent&title=&%40columns=title&id=&%40columns=id&stage=&creation=&creator=&activity=&%40columns=activity&%40sort=activity&actor=&nosy=&type=&components=6&versions=&dependencies=&assignee=&keywords=2&priority=&%40group=priority&status=1&%40columns=status&resolution=&nosy_count=&message_count=&%40pagesize=50&%40startwith=0&%40queryname=&%40old-queryname=&%40action=search
Trimmed and possibly not correct (I do not understand the %40s, nor how
much the order matters):
http://bugs.python.org/issue?components=6&keywords=2&status=1&%40columns=id&%40columns=activity&%40columns=title&%40group=priority&%40sort=activity&%40action=search
A : @Terry. Is this by email? Is there some equivalent to the github
"pull request" on the Python Mercurial repository?
No.
Q : Where can I see current IDLE bugs that need fixing?
A : http://bugs.python.org/issue?search_text=idle&submit=search
This returns 32000 hits, most closed, and most not about Idle. Use
component=6 instead. This also returns a table with a column for every
field. That would be most useful as input that makes a custom condensed
table or summary. The standard condensed table (but without status =
open on every line) would be the same as above without &keywords=2.
Q : Where does the main discussion about IDLE development take place?
A : Here on IDLE-dev? : https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
Only if the PSF Code of Conduct applies to this list and personal
attacks are not tolerated.
