Isn't "of the creation of your new patch" redundant? What else would it be notifying the list of? > Your patch may languish for weeks or more before anyone volunteers a > response because of limited time on the part of Python developers. I think this is less accurate. Patches languish because of limited time *and* because newbies don't have any social capital w/in the Python community. New patch contributors are volunteers too, so they understand that constraint. Their big problem is their outsider status, to which the patch angels/5-for-1 system is an elegant solution. And that's what should be emphasized in this FAQ. In other words, I still prefer my wording. But since I'm a newbie with little merit, I'll be content with whatever you decide. :) chad _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
