I think it's supposed to be alright to push changes to CPython's 2.7 *tests* (like test_mailbox.py) but not other parts of the standard library (like mailbox.py) -- I'd love to find a way to share the modifications from various implementations though -- and in the 3.x future hopefully it can all just end up in CPython's Lib.
