Hans knows the Python plugin best and hopefully he can spare a moment to
answer your questions.  I also expect he will want to review any patches
you might submit.

Feel free to ask questions I'll do my best to answer them if I can.
Please do read the FAQ and try to search the mailing list archives for
answers as posting to the mailing list could take a while to get a
response (and if we do not have the answer we sometimes do not reply at
all unfortunately).

If you are willing to share your best bet is to create a report in
Bugzilla, attach the patch and add the PATCH keyword.
