Are there lots of useless docstrings on nested function definitions purely for the sake of twistedchecker? Or are there undocumented nested functions that are actually a little bit difficult to understand on their own?

twistedchecker does not presently require nested function definitions to have docstrings. I recently merged a fix to an incongruity where it was requiring this of classes defined within functions: <https://github.com/twisted/twistedchecker/commit/4af4e97f99d6e5f683b65272a8dbe7bce2087aa7>. So this one, at least, we can cross off for the future :).

The broader context of this suggestion was that we should inspect the codebase to see what policy changes would improve the quality of the code/documentation while reducing the effort required to develop and maintain it.

It sounds like you have some ideas about such changes already. Does that mean you'd like to suggest them (presumably in the form of issues filed against twistedhecker) instead of doing this investigation?
