 "Reviewing Patches"] in the developer guide.

 * `./sage -t --all --long`: done, no new errors
 * `make` including documentation: done
 * `./sage -docbuild reference pdf`: done
 * `./sage -coverage src/sage/rings/polynomial/*.py{,x}`: Diff shows that
 this now has 6 things less to complain about, and no new ones

 I wonder whether the docs for `resultant` regarding “Implemented using
 PARI’s polresultant function.” should get adjusted. On the other hand, I
 doubt that detailing the possible choices of algorithm is worth the
 effort.

 Did so, and found #16285 in the process. But that's reproducible without
 your change, so not your fault.

 Shouldn't running the testsuite be handled by patchbot? Or hasn't that
 been migrated to the git workflow yet?
