Description
Location
Most of the tidy tool (located at src/tools/tidy), and most of the bootstrap source (located at src/bootstrap)
Summary
Actually, adding a new tidy check means digging through existing code to find how it works.
I propose adding doc-comments to the tidy items, in order to get the new contributors to understand it better.
We should also do it for the bootstrap crate, since it is a base building block of Rust, but currently is very opaque in how it works.
Future possibilities
We can also post the rendered docs to doc.rust-lang.org, but this is a later step that is being made possible by documenting the current items.
