I think I might be able to "volunteer" for the task of writing/editing the "What's New in 3.5" docs. I saw David's comment on it today, so obviously haven't yet had a chance to run it by my employer (Continuum Analytics), but I have a hunch they would allow me to do it at least in large part as paid time. I am experienced as a technical writer, follow python-dev, write about new features, but am *not*, however, my self an existing core developer.
I think the last point may be a positive rather than a negative when it comes to effectively describing new features :)
If there is interest in this, or at least it seems plausible, I can run it by my employer tomorrow to see about getting enough time allocated (using David Murray's past experience as a guideline for what's likely to be needed).
That would be very helpful! I'd definitely be able to find the time to review and merge updates, it's the research-and-writing side that poses a problem for me (appreciating a task is worth doing isn't the same thing as wanting to do it myself!).
