I definitely would love to achieve 100% test coverage (and better
branch coverage, not just doctest coverage).
Now, I personally would put the emphasis on encouraging the
*refactoring* of the early Sage code (of course with appropriate
testing), rather than just doctesting it. There is for example not
much point adding a doctest on a function that is likely to be
discarded in the refactoring.
I don't have good ideas on how to promote refactoring or doctesting,
beside rewarding (at least by a congratulation) any volunteer doing
so.
Cheers,
Nicolas
PS: by the above I mean no criticizing of early Sage code: it had to
be written quickly for the project to get started, and many tools to
write it nicely were just not available.
