[Python-Dev] Moving bugs and patches through the pipeline more quickly

In composing my email to c.l.py today asking for new developers I did a
quick browse of both the bugs and patches on SF.  There are, as I recall,
around 300 open bugs and 150 patches.  About have the bugs and two-thirds of
the patches are not assigned.  I didn't look at the submission dates, but
I'll wager there are more than a few that are more than two months old.

Hence the need for more "processing power".
