[New-bugs-announce] [issue34259] Improve docstring of list.sort

[Tim Hoffmann]

New submission from Tim Hoffmann <tim.hoffmann at posteo.de>:

The current docstring of list.sort is just "Stable sort *IN PLACE*."

This is missing a description of the arguments key and reverse. Also a short explanation of stable and in-place would be helpful for less experienced users.
