PEP 6:

    As individual patches get contributed to the feature release fork,
    each patch contributor is requested to consider whether the patch is
    a bug fix suitable for inclusion in a patch release.  If the patch is
    considered suitable, the patch contributor will mail the SourceForge
    patch (bug fix?) number to the maintainers' mailing list.

That seems clear enough to me, though it could probably stand some
updating for using appropriate vocabulary and matching current practice.
