Happy to help here 😊.

Nice, https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3086 will bring some typing guidelines, though I still need to add more info I guess. Once merged, I'll review the typed modules individually. Feel free to tell which module you'd like to work on (after https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3086 gets merged)

Planning on bringing the typing docs up to date when I have time :)
