I've just submitted:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1491804&group_id=5470&atid=305470

to the bugtracker, which extends the (start, stop) keyword arguments to 
list.reverse() (which I've needed more than once). The patch updates the test 
suite, documentation, list object, and sorted() builtin to accept (or 
specify) the new arguments.

Any comment/feedback would be appreciated.
