I think you forgot to attach the patch. :-)
In fact, even better than sending the patch to the mailing list: make a
new ticket ( http://code.djangoproject.com/newticket ) and attach the
patch to that. Then it won't get lost. Note that you have to create the
ticket first (enter title and a short summary), then submit it, then go
back and you will be given the option to attach a file. You cannot
attach a file when you are first creating a ticket.
