Dear All,

Last week I submitted a patch (my first), and now I'm wondering what my 
expectations should be. Do I sit around and wait? How long? Do I notify 
this list? Do I notify a specific person, say, an author or reviewer of 
the original code I modified? Do I use SF's assignment mechanism? Who do 
I assign it to?

These are the questions I have, unanswered (afaict) by the patch 
documentation I've found:

   http://www.python.org/dev/patches/style/
   http://www.python.org/patches/
   http://www.python.org/patches/style.html
   http://www.python.org/dev/tools/#patch-tracking


Any insight?

P.S. For the interested, here is my patch:

   "Expose case-insensitivity of string.Template"
