Yeah, a few of the python-devvers have agreed to this setup.  And the 
patch count has been lowered to 5.  So if you really want to get your 
patch reviewed, find 5 patches, look them over, test them out, and then 
post your recommendations on how these patches should be handled to 
python-dev.  Then point them to the patch you'd like reviewed, and when 
the generous python-devvers who have agreed to this setup get a chance, 
they will review your patch.
