Once the docs are built using Python 3, then the coverage results can be used by people wanting to contribute as something to do. Should also mention in the task that some APIs should probably be private: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-November/105476.html .

Where do we stand on this as #10224 has been closed as "out of date"?

The issue is still valid and waiting for someone to submit a patch to the devguide.
