Yes, this is a list for 2.2.2 based on my review of the checkin logs.
If I felt comfortable applying these myself, they would already
be done.  There are about 8 or 9 total changes, each of them
are small (a few lines in a single file), and can be done in an
hour by someone who knows what they're doing.

If only one or two gets looked at, pickle.py and socket.py 
have the most important unapplied patches.
