Because python is an free, open source software, there is no guarantee
when a bug would be fixed, the only thing close to a guarantee is if
you send a patch.

The development front for Python is 2.6 trunk and py3k trunk, I don't
know if 2.5.x is still being developed though 2.6 betas and 3.0's
betas are being released.

To some extent, yes, this mailing list is best for meeting with people
who develops with python not develops python itself. Another list you
might be interested is the python-dev mailing list, which is
specifically for development of python itself.
