Oh, the docs for colesbury/nogil AKA free threading:

CPython docs > Free Threading HOWTO > Python experimental support for free threading: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/free-threading-python.html#p...

CPython docs > Free Threading HOWTO > C API Extension Support for Free Threading: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/free-threading-extensions.ht...

Python Free-Threading Guide > Run your code on free-threaded Python: https://py-free-threading.github.io/#run-your-code-on-free-t...

ReadTheDocs used to have an "Edit" button that linked to the (GitHub,) page to edit the current page of the docs in source control.
