I would like to take the followings as the first step

./pandas/core/generic.py
./pandas/core/series.py
./pandas/core/frame.py

Created a PR (#38180 )that addresses the following files:

./pandas/tests/reshape/concat/test_datetimes.py
./pandas/tests/reshape/merge/test_merge.py
./pandas/tests/reshape/merge/test_multi.py

@fangchenli Is a whatsnew entry necessary for such a change in the code?
