Use a command class's `__doc__` if `overview` does not exist
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to use a command class's __doc__ as a fallback for the overview attribute when it is not defined, improving automatic documentation. Still unimplemented; overview remains mandatory in BaseCommand.__init__ and no docstring fallback exists in the codebase.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue is old (861 days, last activity 816 days ago) but the feature is still unimplemented: dispatcher.py still lists overview in the mandatory tuple and no __doc__ fallback logic exists anywhere in the codebase. It is a valid, well-scoped enhancement from a maintainer that would reduce boilerplate for command authors, so it remains relevant rather than obsolete.
