Anyone can submit a patch at bugs.python.org. The process of getting one 
approved includes responding to questions, suggestions, and criticisms. 
Beyond that, the process may be short if the patch is simple and 
non-controversial. Others may take extensive discussion on pydev or 
other forums. Some are ignored or rejected.

One can also participate by commenting on issues started by others. See
http://wiki.python.org/moin/TrackerDocs/
for more.

This particular issue would probably require more discussion than less. 
However, submission of a patch using one approach would tend to push the 
discussion to happen.
