Adding a 'Contributing to Docs' link at the bottom of the docs.python.org page between 'Reporting bugs' and 'About Documentation'.

This could link to the devguide section on contributing to docs or provide a short paragraph including:
- the importance of CPython docs as well as other Python projects (warehouse, popular libraries, etc.)
- link to the devguide and its section on documentation
- link to the core mentorship mailing list
- link to docs mailing list

As an example, the Rust project's Docs-Contributing page is a good start: https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/contribute-docs.html

That's a good idea.  I see that there is already a "Found a bug?" link at the bottom of each doc page and that links to a page like:

https://docs.python.org/3/bugs.html

and that page has a Documentation Bugs section.  Perhaps adding a link or two in there would help.

Great suggestion Ned. It would be great to have some links on the bug page too.
