New submission from Lewis McCarthy:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-objects

Most of the documentation for the extract and extractall methods refers to a 
parameter named numeric_owner. However, the notes on what changed in v3.5 refer 
instead to numeric_only. One of these names is incorrect and should be changed 
to match the other.

Same issue in the 3.6 and 3.7 docs.
