Traditionally (i.e. on SF), we have been tracking three different kinds of things: bugs, patches, and "requests for enhancements". While bug reports clearly indicate problems, patches do not so necessarily. The patch, in itself, is not a "problem", instead, it is fortunate that somebody contributes to Python. Some patches are, of course, meant to solve some problem. One may argue that all patches are contributed because they solve a problem of the submitter. However, from a technical point of view, these distinctions are minor, and, indeed, it has been counter-productive to have different trackers for different kinds of "issues". So the roundup installation will likely have only a single tracker, with filters to find out whether the submissions include patches, and perhaps also whether the issue discussed is an enhancement or not.
