Blurb question: error in Misc/NEWS.d/3.8.0b1.rst
I made a typo in a blurb file that's been incorporated into Misc/NEWS.d/3.8.0b1.rst. I referenced an incorrect bpo number. How do I go about fixing it? Can I just modify that .rst file, or is there some other process I need to perform?

The individual blurb files are consolidated into a single release file by release managers during a release's manufacturing steps. Once the release is out the door and the release's consolidated file appears in the repo (in this case, 3.8.0b1.rst), you can merge changes to it. Prior to the release cutoff, you can modify the individual file in Misc/NEWS.d/next. Don't forget to make similar changes as necessary to any backported PRs!

That’s what I thought. Thanks for confirming, Ned.
