Dear All,

Last week I submitted a patch (my first),

Thanks!

and now I'm wondering what my
expectations should be. Do I sit around and wait? How long? Do I notify
this list? Do I notify a specific person, say, an author or reviewer of
the original code I modified? Do I use SF's assignment mechanism? Who do

I assign it to?

Let it sit for now. We get email notifications when new patches come in. Since we are all volunteers it can take a little while before we get to it.

And don't assign it to anyone. Let us handle that.

These are the questions I have, unanswered (afaict) by the patch
documentation I've found:

   http://www.python.org/dev/patches/
   http://www.python.org/dev/patches/style/

http://www.python.org/patches/
   http://www.python.org/patches/style.html
   http://www.python.org/dev/tools/#patch-tracking

Those docs needs to be overhauled. I am planning to consolidate into a single patch guidelines doc in a month or so.

Any insight?

P.S. For the interested, here is my patch:

"Expose case-insensitivity of string.Template"
