There is a bunch of stuff in Misc that probably belongs in the devguide (under Resources) instead of in svn. Here are the files I think can be moved (in order of how strongly I think they should be moved):
PURIFY.README README.coverty README.klocwork README.valgrind Porting developers.txt maintainers.rst SpecialBuilds.txt
Now before anyone yells "that is inconvenient", don't forget that all core developers can check out and edit the devguide, and that almost all of the files listed (SpecialBuilds.txt is the exception) are typically edited and viewed on their own.
Anyway, if there is a file listed here you don't think should move out of py3k and into the devguide, speak up.
No objections, +1. While it seems convenient to have (e.g.) the list of maintainers directly in the source tree, a) developers already know where to find it, no matter if in Misc/ or devguide/ b) others first have to find it anyway, and it's better to find when embedded in the rest of developer-related docs c) everyone can commit to the devguide as well as to cpython d) people should get used to multiple repos with hg coming Same goes for developers.txt.
