I'd have to go with the idea of submitting doc patches to
patches@python.org. If that alias starts to get some automation associated
with it, then the doc patches can begin to use that.

Personally, I'm not about to interfere with the great doc job that Fred is
doing, but using patches@ could distribute his load.

Well... whatever Fred would like to do, but that's my thought... :-)
