Here is the overall plan.

1. A README for core devs leading a sprint to make sure they remember to have 
the right repositories cloned, files downloaded, and docs built; stuff they 
already know how to do and thus don't need a tool to do for them which 
constantly breaks

2. Some helper scripts to make tricky or multi-step things an easy single step 
for both core devs and new contributors

I finished step 1 on the plane home from PyCon and step 2 I'm in the process of 
doing.

The full coverage script will be referenced from the devguide, but the steps 
themselves will not be outlined. Because it is constantly changing thanks to 
coverage.py moving at its own pace I don't want to update the script **and** 
the docs. So the devguide will point to the script and explain what it's for 
but not detail every step like it does now.
