> Can you help with the "What's New" document? After seeing this, I went through the whatsnew for 3.8 and found a couple of typos and broken links (from Sphinx roles that were slightly off). I opened a PR to fix as many as I was able to: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/16535. Raymond will be the one to make the final decision as the editor, but I would appreciate it if anyone could help with verifying the changes and providing feedback. I'd like to have the PR finished a good bit before October 14th to avoid last minute additions. Having additional reviewers would likely help to accelerate the process.
