One of the most useful things for Core would be to help boost coverage.  Many
of the core modules are covered at 100% but a lot of them aren't.  Right now
the test suite is gated at 93% overall, but you can see that some are dismal
at < 90% (even 40% in one case!).  I will gladly work with anybody who wants
to help boost coverage toward the eventual goal of 100% coverage.  Untested
code is broken code!

The best way to see coverage information is to run this with a checkout of
Core:

% tox -e py35-cov

Adjust if necessary if you don't have Python 3.5 installed (i.e. py36-cov and
py34-cov are also available).

I'm very happy to answer questions about how to write tests, the testing
infrastructure, etc. either here on this mailing list or on IRC.

Cheers,
-Barry
