The documentation infrastructure of Python should only consider the needs of Python itself. If other people can use that infrastructure for other purposes, fine - if they find that it does not meet their needs, they have to look elsewhere.

Martin beat me to my comment. =) Python's needs should come first, period. If Georg wants to add math support, fine. But honestly I would rather he spend his time on Python-specific stuff then get bogged down to support possible third parties.
