It's an interesting idea but I don't like essentially opening python.org as a publishing platform (OK, another publishing platform - yes, I know about wiki.python.org).  Considering how easy it is to build and view the docs yourself, I don't think the benefits of such a service are worth the added complexity and potential abuse.

cd Doc
make venv # first time
git pr checkout ...
make html
open build/html/index.html  # depending on platform and code change
