It currently says:

"""
 If your patch has not received any notice from reviewers (i.e., no
comment made) after a substantial amount of time then you may email
python-...@python.org asking for someone to take a look at your patch.
"""

That doesn't seem very useful to me because a newcomer is going to
wonder how much time is "substantial".  If you quantify it, then they
don't really have to think about it as much which makes contributing
easier.
