Ned Deily added the comment:

ISTM, committing changes to the devguide is fundamentally different from 
committing a change to Python itself.  The devguide has a much smaller and 
focused audience, does not have compatibility considerations, it's continuously 
releasable etc etc.  So there's no need to have exactly the same stringent 
criteria for changes to the devguide.  That doesn't mean that there shouldn't 
be any review of those changes or that the process devolves to a change storm.  
But, surely at this point, it would be easier to get meaningful additional 
review after the current set of changes are committed rather than continually 
redoing a large set of patches.  Then others are free to propose their own 
further changes for review.  I guess the lesson I would take from this is to 
limit the size and scope of individual changes to the devguide where possible, 
e.g. "ship" frequently.  This doesn't need to be difficult.
