Hi developers,

What should / shouldn't I do to attract any python developer response to
issue tracker items?  I am unsure of the proper procedure to follow so I am
asking here first.

I have filed two issues on the python issue tracker for python curses
issues:

1.      # 43715, a documentation update request (suggested additional
documentation file uploaded)
2.      # 43716, a possible ABI issue for the curses.pair_number() function
return value in a Windows environment

With respect to the documentation issue, I would appreciate any review of
whether the suggested documentation addition that I uploaded as a text file
is acceptable as-is or whether further refinement or correction is needed.

In the case of the possible ABI issue I am uncertain whether the issue is in
the python interface code or in the underlying curses implementation library
(windows-curses V2.2.0 using PDCurses).  I would appreciate it if anyone
knowledgeable of the python curses interfacing code could advise me whether
I need to pursue the issue with the third party library provider or with the
python development team.  At the moment all that I know is that the
"workaround" that I discovered corrects the issue under Windows but is not
necessary under linux / ncurses (in my testing I used Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2 to
confirm that fact).

TIA for your patience with my ignorance of the proper procedures and
channels.

My environment:

Windows 10 Pro 64 (latest version)
Python 3.8.9 (tags/v3.8.9:a743f81, Apr  6 2021, 14:02:34) [MSC v.1928 64 bit
(AMD64)]
Windows-curses V2.2.0

Peter
