I suppose he was referring to this (from my initial 2.2.2 post last
Friday):

    Basically, someone does the tedious part of triage, which means
    going over *every* 2.3 checkin message (with quick access to the
    corresponding diffs) and sorting them into:

    - already applied

    - trivial reject (e.g. new feature or fix for a bug introduced in
      2.3)

    - trivial accept (pure bugfix that applies cleanly to 2.2)

    - messy (e.g. unclear whether it's a bugfix or a feature even
      after staring at the source, bugfixes that affect binary
      compatibility, bugfixes that can only be applied with much code
      wrangling due to other changes in the code at the same place,
      etc.)

    Feel free to compile a list of "messy" ones and send it to
    python-dev.  It doesn't have to be all at once -- for big messy
    ones a separate python-dev discussion may be appropriate.
