I think test suites would be a very, very good idea. At a minimum, some doctest
examples. Even better would be a well-defined suite of unit tests using the
unittest module. I propose that this be made a requirement for adding new
modules to the standard library.

It would be A Good Thing if unit tests were added to the existing standard
library modules, but my mind boggles at the size of the job.
