bug#33959: 26.1.90; python.el font-lock buffer wreaks havoc when eldoc is enabled

[Carlos Pita]

Hi Noam,

Yeah, there's no maintainer for python.el, so maintenance is sporadic at
best.  I think having one would definitely be a big help.

I would like to know your opinion regarding the approach that was suggested near the end of https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/elpy/issues/1531 in order to avoid direct access to python.el yet keep the ability to port changes. Essentially, it consists in keeping a more active drop-in python.el as an external package with periodic updates to core python.el once the changes were more or less tested by real world usage.
