I have a bit of confusion about how possibly "non-trivial" patches are
supposed to be handled.

Common practice here seems to be that if someone wants to propose a
change and has a patch ready, they open a ticket first and then a
discussion here.  The docs indicate that if the patch is non-trivial
(for some definition of non-trivial), the author should show that a
discussion of alternate solutions occurred here.  I assume that the
ticket description is where this evidence goes.

My question is: if I have a non-trivial patch, does the alternate-
solutions discussion need to occur before I post my patch to Trac, or
is it all right to create the ticket first and follow up with linkage
later?

Finally, I'd like to offer up a patch to contrib.admin, and I'm
wondering if it would be classified as non-trivial.  It allows a
custom "base_site" template to be specified in an AdminSite instance.
The patch modifies the admin templates which extend "admin/
base_site.html" to extend a "base_site_template" context variable
instead, and adds an optional argument to a handful of view functions
in contrib.auth and contrib.admin.  Is this kind of change considered
non-trivial?
