Brett,
I liked the "patch angel" term in Chad's version. Stating "a Python developer will take a look at your patch" smacks of a guarantee, while Chad's use of "patch angel" and "get the ball rolling" better conveyed the fact that this 5-for-1 rule is simply a practice of some of the volunteers.
Eh, I still don't like the term. Too hokey. But I did toss in a "try" to not make it sound like a guarantee.
Yeah, kind of hokey. I included it because it's succinct and accurate, and because I assumed there's history to the term. Putting it in quotes helped w/ the goofiness, I thought. I believe Skip used the term: any comment, Skip? chad
