Point out that new stdlib modules need to be added to Makefile.pre.in

Open encukou opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Makefile.pre.in is frequently forgotten, see https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/13563, https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/30311, https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/31784.

The instructions for adding a new module to stdlib currently focus on what can be added rather than how to add something, so adding a “checklist step” might need some restructuring first.

Can we also detect this programmatically (e.g. in make patchcheck) in addition to documenting it?
