Fair enough.

Would it be an idea to 'announce' this on the newsgroup, a certain
period before releasing a new Python version? Like for instance:
"There are at least N patches in need of reviews. Please review the
patches to improve their chance of getting included in the next
python version, due in X weeks".... to bring it to people's attention?
Just an idea.

In the meantime, I'll see what I can do :-)
