If people look at the page, there are several bugs labelled
"Python SyntaxWarning", they are good both for newcomers to get
on tracks and for seasoned developpers who might want some
warmup.  It would be nice to have all those resolved before
trixie release.

We also have a sprawl of "Fails to build source after successful
build" from last year if we were to run out of Python syntax
warnings.  Those are usually low hanging fruits once one set up
one's workflow to reproduce the double build errors.  See the
wiki[1] to easily reproduce the issue with your workflow.

Have a nice Advent period,  :)
