It is certainly not your _responsibility_ to review additional patches to get your accepted; without doing so, it likely will be accepted, eventually (assuming it is correct). As far as I understand, Martin's offer is purely a personal one: there is a patch backlog, and if you help clear it out, he will help your patch get processed faster. cheers, -Mike _______________________________________________ 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
