The documentation states that "*key*, *default* and the result are str." at https://github.com/python/cpython/blame/3.8/Doc/library/os.rst#L224 but either I'm missing something or it's not actually true:

$ python -c 'import os; print(type(os.getenv("FOO")))'           
<class 'NoneType'>
$ python -c 'import os; print(type(os.getenv("FOO", default=1)))'
<class 'int'>

Only *key* needs to be a string as it is used to lookup the value in os.environ.

I think this can be fixed by a new contributor
