As for typo fixes, the world does not end when some typos aren't fixed. Anyway, for the docs we have an explicit offer to send anything, patch or just suggestion, to docs at python.org, and people do make use of it. No github account even required.

Which is great, but I'm willing to bet clicking "Edit" in GitHub is easier still than creating the patch and emailing it. I have contributed doc fixes to a bunch of projects because of that "Edit" button (which is why I think Nick is so anxious to get it). If I had to do any checkout then I wouldn't have done them. And even having to email a diff might be too much for some changes.

Yes, it's the ease of noticing a typo or other small, easy to fix error in docs, going to the source page, hitting Edit, and submitting the PR that I like with the online editing support.

Cheers, Nick.
