I check all the links on ../dev/ I noticed and found no direct link to
/patches/.  I think there should be (Explanations list, bottom of
page)

The /devfaq/ has this entry:

3.2. How to submit a patch?
Please read the Patch Submission Guidelines at
http://www.python.org/patches
A recent copy can be found in the Appendix of this FAQ.

Q. Which of these two nearly identical pages is more recent?

Guess:Appendix A2 has "It's almost a year since Python 1.5.2 was
released".  /patches/ is undated (dating pages in one change I would
suggest for the site) but the differences suggest to me that it is
newer.  Please delete the older version.  Directing would-be new
submitters to both seems senseless and can only discourage, not
encourage.
