Please go ahead and try it.  Having read the "Summary of Python tracker 
Issues" on the python-dev mailing list, and followed from there to the 
bug tracker, it seems that all input is greatly appreciated.  For the 
small issues the reply is often "Thanks, done".  Some things get 
rejected, and usually rightly so from what I can see.  Others the issue 
is closed with the half way house committed/rejected.  Work that out for 
yourself if you can.:)
