The documentation should be updated. Back when we initially introduced
the DEVELOPERS file, we indeed thought that having a separate patch for
the DEVELOPERS file change was best, but we then changed our mind. I
thought we had updated our documentation, but apparently not. Do you
think you could send a patch fixing this?

Enable just BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON=y and BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_RAVEN=y, build
this, boot, and check that python-raven works correctly on the target.
That's the only way to be sure :)

Thanks!
