Around Python 3.9, I moved Build Changes and C API changes at the end of the document since most users never write any line of C API. I suggest you to move this list inside the C API Changes section: add a new " Pending Removal in Python 3.12" section there.

If you click on a function, you can find the deprecation note there and usually you get a suggestion to replace the deprecated function. For example, importlib.find_loader() suggests using importlib.util.find_spec() instead.

Yeah; typically, I'd think if a user actually uses a function, they'd want more details anyway, and if functions don't have clear guidance on why they are deprecated and what to replace them with (or not), then it can be added there.
