Sure.  I think it's fine to JFDI for trivial patches.  After all, we have a
version control system and post-commit notifications with diffs.  I don't
think you even need to do a merge proposal for those.

A merge proposal would be nice, and waiting a few days (perhaps with a ping on
email or irc).  Three days is probably fine, though be a little more lenient
around weekends and holidays.  Other than that, if you feel pretty confident
about the change and no one responds, JFDI.

There will be times when you might not be able to get anyone's attention for
various reasons.  I'd say that in the above two cases, you should not let that
block your progress.  Just self-approve the mp and commit.

Yep, behavior changes should require a higher barrier.  A discussion on this
mailing list would always be good (before, during, or after merge proposal is
submitted).

I commented on the mp.

Cheers,

P.S. Better to use my @python.org address for this mailing list. :)
