Given the relatively advanced state of patch, I doubt that this is the
*wrong* list. However, you would probably benefit from posting to
python-l...@python.org to collect use cases. (We don't "vote" on such
additions. Rather the senior devs consider whether the use cases seem
general enough to justify on-going maintenance costs for new code.)

That is correct. This is clearly a feature, and 2.7 currently is
accepting only security-related patches (broadly construed -- a
sufficiently severe bug, such as a crash or infloop, is security-
related because it could be used to implement a DoS attack).
Surely patches related to any bugs, not just security related ones, will
be accepted until EOL in 2020?
