Brett, Thanks for the helpful reply.

"We" is most of the developers on python-dev. There is a Python patches mailing list that most developers subscribe to.

And is every patch eventually responded to? Or do some simply fall by

the wayside?

The latter unfortunatley. Since this all relies on people's volunteer efforts the patch usually has to matter to someone to lead to them putting the time and effort into getting it checked in.

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

Great! I'd be happy to review it when the time comes, if that'd be helpful.

Yep, it would be.
