Thanks Antoine, I was not aware of that or I had forgotten it.  The old 
python.org/dev pages contained information for new and experienced core devs 
too, so I thought the devguide was intended to contain the same info.  I’ll 
support a clearer separation between the guide and the reference, to make the 
devguide less overwhelming for new contributors but still complete for core 
devs.
