There is one typo and one error in the first paragraph of the patch:
> When raising a new exception (rather than

^ should be an 'a'
> exception currently being handled), the
> implicit exception chain can be made explicit

> The single argument to :keyword:`from` must be

The last sentence is incorrect -- __suppress_context__ is only set to True if
__cause__ is set to None; if __cause__ is set to any other exception
__suppress_context__ remains False and the new exception chain will be printed:
>>> try:
... raise ValueError
... except:
... raise NameError from KeyError
...
KeyError
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 4, in <module>
NameError
This is easily fixed by adding 'to ``None``':
> Setting :attr:`__cause__` to ``None`` also implicitly sets
> the :attr:`__suppress_context__` attribute to ``True``.
