Well, presumably at least 5 links: Devguide, PEP index, buildbot, issue
tracker, link to source code browser. But sure, I'm just a user, I have no idea
how hard it is to edit a page on pydotorg (and no, I don't really want to
know). But I seriously cannot imagine it's so hard that you can't leave a page
with a few links there, that had already been written!
Note how clicking everything else in the left navbar makes useful links appear
below the item, and the rest of the page keep the same theme/general layout.
"Core Development" is now the unexpected exception to that UI consistency, and
is less useful because of it.
