"Patches" certainly isn't the right word for changes not described as source 
diffs.  I cleaned up some text about that on python.org earlier.

In English is fine.  I'd expect something like: in the section on imaplib, 
before the paragraph starting with "...".  I often get descriptions like this 
when people point out typos to the docs at python.org address; it works well, 
and has almost no barriers to entry at all.

Hopefully we can make sure it's easy for everyone to contribute.  I'm 
certainly interested in suggestions, though I make all of them happen.
