Isn't "of the creation of your new patch" redundant? What else would it
be notifying the list of?
Yep, slightly.

I think this is less accurate. Patches languish because of limited time
*and* because newbies don't have any social capital w/in the Python
community. New patch contributors are volunteers too, so they understand
that constraint. Their big problem is their outsider status, to which
the patch angels/5-for-1 system is an elegant solution. And that's what
should be emphasized in this FAQ.
But that makes us sound elitist.
In other words, I still prefer my wording. But since I'm a newbie with
little merit, I'll be content with whatever you decide. :)
OK. =)
