[issue10716] Modernize pydoc to use better HTML and separate CSS

[Andre Roberge]

Andre Roberge added the comment:

When rhettinger created this issue, the goal was 

"Pydoc currently generated 1990's style html which mixes content and presentation, making it very difficult for users to customize the appearance of the output. ... Please convert it to simple, validated HTML with the formatting moved to a simple, validated default style sheet."

Apparently, the statement of this issue is no longer correct. However, in order to do so, one apparently needs to have access to a private list mentioned in a comment (https://mail.python.org/mailman/private/core-mentorship/2016-August/003622.html) 

One thing that motivated to submit my tentative "solution" to this issue here almost two years ago (solution which, I thought, met the stated goal) was a discussion at Pycon as to how one could encourage new contributors.  Is this the purpose of the core-mentorship list?  Does one need to join the list if one wishes to contribute?
