You make some good points.  It's true that Python's documentation is
not perfect.

Yes, if and only if someone puts in the effort.

Are you willing to do more than just complain?  If so, please choose a
chapter and produce a patch.  Assign it to me, and I'll make sure it
gets applied quickly -- if the patch is of good quality.  After a few
patches, I'll recommend to python-dev that you be granted direct CVS
access, which would make the process that much more efficient.
