I have multiple times strongly recommended that people review issues and
PRs, and sometimes given details, but most won't or don't.
I don't know who "people" are in your sentence, but reviewing issues
and PRs generally requires a high familiarity with a project, and
Much can be done without what I think you mean by 'high familiarity'.
Bug issues:
bpo: "On macOS with 3.8.3 I see this buggy behavior" If not enough
info to reproduce, ask for it. If there is, try to reproduce on lastest
release or even better, repository build. Sometimes, trying on a
different OS is helpful.
PR: make local PR branch and test whether proposed fix works.
Enhancement issues:
bpo: if proposal is for core python or a module one has used, does
proposal seem like an actual improvement? enough to be worth the likely
bother?
PR: does the PR work as promised? Do you like it?
PR Python code: read it. See any possible improvements?
