Research direction

Start by reading the linked Scientific Python fellowship retrospective for the existing discussion of who should use numtype, then inspect the repository's documentation structure to find the appropriate section. Done means the docs contain a clear explanation of the intended users of numtype and the existing information is represented there.

Description

topic: documentation

There's a bit about this in https://blog.scientific-python.org/numpy/fellowship-program-2025-retrospective/ already, but it's probably a good idea to add a section to the docs that explains this.
