Looks like commit message of PATCH 24 has an answer.
Copy to all the commits that omit -> None similarly?
Probably not needed.
It's covered by the class basics section in the mypy manual;
https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/class_basics.html#annotating-init-methods
and if you should happen to omit annotations for __init__ entirely as a
novice, you will be treated to messages such as these:
qapi/source.py:18: error: Function is missing a return type annotation
qapi/source.py:18: note: Use "-> None" if function does not return a value
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 14 source files)
Pretty good error!
There's no error if you DO explicitly add a -> None from __init__, but
at worst it's just extraneous (but correct) information.
I could add a note to the style guide that I prefer omitting the return
from __init__. I like omitting as much as I possibly can.
(You'll notice I don't always type every local, either -- when local
inference is accurate, I leave it alone.)
