I disagree. The documentation infrastructure of Python should only
consider the needs of Python itself. If other people can use that
infrastructure for other purposes, fine - if they find that it does
not meet their needs, they have to look elsewhere.


Martin beat me to my comment.  =)  Python's needs should come first, period.  If Georg wants to add math support, fine.  But honestly I would rather he spend his time on Python-specific stuff then get bogged down to support possible third parties.
