Description

Hi, I wrote some third party stubs for WebTest for something I was working on and was wondering if there is any interest in merging them into the code base.

I previously wrote stubs for WebOb and contributed them to typeshed and have an open PR to get those merged into the WebOb code base.

I am willing to do the same for WebTest. I do already have a PR open on typeshed for those stubs. But if you're willing to add inline type hints, then it makes more sense to do that, rather than publish a third party stubs package that's going to be obsolete within a short few weeks.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. First clarify whether WebTest will accept inline type hints and which parts of the codebase are in scope, then compare the proposed stubs with the existing implementation; done should mean the agreed inline hints are merged and the separate typeshed stubs are no longer needed.
