What is the current process the core team uses for accepting patches

this, but it might be good to publish this somewhere so people know
what to expect.
There's no formal procedure per se. The ticket has to be tested,
follow style conventions, be backwards compatible, and hopefully
something that has meaning for most people most of the time. But all
of these rules go out the window some times, if there's a stroke of
genius found in the submission.
That's good to know, and pretty much what I expected to hear too.
But I'm curious about how much people use the Trac reports. Does
anyone really sit down and look at the Unprocessed Patches report to
figure out what patches to look at? If someone submits a patch with
the e.g. "tiny" keyword, that puts it in the Tiny report - does that
mean it might not get, um, processed? I'm just now writing up some
notes on keywords and it would be useful to tell folks whether adding
those keywords helps or hinders their effords.
