Check Tools/scripts/patchcheck.py in the CPython repo. There is also a patchcheck target in the top level Makefile.pre.in file. I imagine this stuff is only exercised by the release process, so the various release managers probably know this stuff best. In theory, python-...@python.org might be the best place to contact them, though I suspect that's not quite the right place for an extended discussion of the topic.
