Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Active voice is strongly recommended for docstrings in PEP 257 and commit messages somewhere in the Developer guide and applies to docs.  The doc for the asyncio call_x functions all start with the active voice: 'Schedule', which is the main action of the function.  'is returned' occurs later in the entries and that case is less clear.
