Hi all,

I am working on a large scale docstring formatting PR 
(https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/38155), and I invite you to come and 
share your opinions and help with the review process.

Some comments from me, from things that I've noticed:
There are many inconsistencies in formatting and trivial 
syntactical/grammatical errors. It may be my own sensibilities, but this 
exudes a lack of professionalism which undermines the whole Sage project. 
This I believe is not solely an aesthetic issue: a more professional 
appearance can inspire more serious work from users and developers. It also 
makes later decisions and changes in style more easily applicable.

My recommendations are the following:
1. Reach a decision upon all matters of style;
2. Write a script to enforce a consistent style (a new CI test).
