I had a quick skim over the rest and got the feeling that no clear
distinction is made between C and Python work. Personally, I feel that
more of a distinction should be made since not everyone will be
confident or interested in C. (And maybe more distinction should be made
between working on CPython and the standard library?)
I don't see where the distinction between extensions and Python code
would serve a purpose beyond clouding the documents by adding more
details. People who know both are fine and the people who don't can
start off ignorant and work there way up.
I think a lot of people assume that unless they know C they can't
contribute to Python. I don't know where the best place is but it would
be good to make it *clear* that this isn't true.
All the best,

As for CPython/Python distinction, they are so intertwined at the
moment that the distinction is once again not worth it beyond what I
have already done. When the stdlib is separated from CPython then the
delineation of one over will become worth it.
Overall I think this document is *extremely welcome* and I am very glad
you have done it. I'm sure that once it starts to get known it will help
add to the pool of people contributing to Python as well as helping to
keep the processes clear:-)
=) That's the hope.
