It's worth noting that a number of people will look at a patch after the
submitter has reviewed five other patches or bug reports (does it look okay
to you? does Python build with it applied? do all unit tests pass? if it
needs documentation does it have it? etc). Do that, attach comments to each
of the five, then send a note here listing the five you reviewed and the
patch id of your patch and one of those patch angels will take a look at
your patch (if they haven't already).
