[New-bugs-announce] [issue37955] mock.patch incorrect reference to Mock

[Paulo Henrique Silva]

New submission from Paulo Henrique Silva <ph.silva at gmail.com>:

When explaining the usage of keyword arguments on mock.patch:

```
patch() takes arbitrary keyword arguments. These will be passed to the Mock (or new_callable) on construction.
```

default new_callable is MagicMock and it should be mentioned here instead of Mock (even tough MagickMock inherits from it).
