Suggested change
if (nattrs > 1) {
if (nargs > 1 || (nargs == 1 && nkwargs > 0)) {

As mentioned in #138912, I'd also like to change this. If there are only keyword arguments, it's easy to see if two are the same name. Furthermore linters are able to detect these based on the AST alone.

It would also be great to say if we could suggest users to prefer keyword arguments. Not only are they more explicit, they are also faster. (No lookup of __match_args__ and, with the change, no expensive duplicate name detection.)

Added this in f585253 with if (nargs > 0 && nattrs > 1). I can revert it if necessary.

((PyTypeObject*)type)->tp_name, name);

For what do you need this change? Maybe I'm missing, but other changes don't require this.

Ough, I see. At least this needs a comment, IMHO.
