How do we avoid having the docstrings in two places? Large communities (e.g. Jupyter notebook and IPython users) rely on docstrings available at runtime. There should be a tool to update the docstrings in stubs before I could recommend duplicating them there.

Even for stubs corresponding to extension modules we would need such a tool, since those also typically expose docstrings (defined in the C code) at runtime.

Agreed. Having to maintain two (identical) docstrings will not work. I have set aside some time next week to work on typing-related things and will see whether I can cook up something.
