In the heading summary, in the "Iterators terminating on the shortest input sequence:" section, in the "zip_longest()" table row, in the "Arguments" column, the text "p, q, ..." should be "p, q, ... [, fillvalue=None]"

Good catch!  In the same section, accumulate() is missing the `initial` argument.  

Would you be interested in submitting a pull request for this?

Hi Cheryl,

No.  I've dealt with the Team Python long cycles for random pull requests
before.

Thanks, Charles.  I'm going to assign this to @Mariatta for the sprints.

I would like to take a stab at this as a first-time CPython contributor.

Sorry, I don't want to do this in the summary table.  The goal of the table is to provide a minimal overview to help select the appropriate itertool and to provide a fast link to the details given below.

@rhettinger should this issue be closed if no action is to be taken? If so, should I manually close the pull request referencing this issue, or will that be automatically handled by the Python bug tracker?

I'll take care of it. Thank you.
