rms actively wants your python.el fixes. I know of no reason why you
shouldn't just be maintaining python.el in CVS yourself, unless you
don't want to.

    I asked Dave to send a diff and a change log, as a good
    contributor should, but he did not respond. I think that the
    changes are important enough that we should do the extra work to
    install them anyway.
