Description
Makefile.pre.in is frequently forgotten, see https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/13563, https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/30311, https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/31784.
The instructions for adding a new module to stdlib currently focus on what can be added rather than how to add something, so adding a “checklist step” might need some restructuring first.

Restructure the guidance as needed so adding a new module includes a clear checklist step for Makefile.pre.in. Done means the instructions explain how to add a module, not only what can be added.
