As someone who does both Web design and Python regularly, I'd love to contribute to reworking/changing the Python docs theme.
They are not terrible currently, there are certainly areas for improvement, both in overall layout and text styling. Bringing it closer to other Python branding may also be desirable. For me, the quality of a project's website is a major factor in whether or not I use it. If it looks old or badly styled, it is an indicator that there may not much be active development in the project. I apply this less to languages, as they are generally spoken about enough that one can use their reputation, but I can well imagine someone turning away from a language because the docs felt old or badly styled.
