Most (or all) patches include new tests about bytes. Here is a patch for 
os.rst documentation about listdir(), getcwdb() and readlink().

I wrote a long document about bytes for filenames but not only. I'm still 
waiting for some contributors or reviewers:

Can you be more precise? Which tests have to be improved/rewritten?
