Sure, I can submit a PR. While we're at it, we should probably also deprecate the setter/getter methods that you mention.
Here's what I propose doing:
- On 3.10 (or 3.11 if it's too late for 3.10), make getName and friends throw a DeprecationWarning, scheduling them for removal in 3.12 or 3.13
- On 3.8 and lower, update the docs to explicitly call out the names of the deprecated methods
- On 3.9 and higher, update the docs similarly but mention that threading.isAlive was already removed
If there's no objection, I'll open separate issues and PRs for these in a few days.
