Another question: Wouldn't it be easier to apply the patch
to the mainline branch and the apply it to all release
branches from there (and regardless of the order) ?

I don't think "up-porting" patches works well for Python,
since you usually have to adapt new patches to make them
fit older releases (not the other way around).
