I separated them because one is documentation, the other is Python
programming. I tried to keep things organized by skill set. Also SVN-3914
didn't actually include updating the scripts (unless I missed something).

Should these be re-merged into one item, as you had it before?

Is applying a patch really such a strange concept these days? I
participate in some projects that use Git and take as many patches as
they do pull requests.

We can include the github link but there was a whole discussion here
about how pull requests were sitting there untouched, and there was no
clean way to accept them and have them marked as such. Has that been
fixed? If not, I'd rather avoid the confusion that would cause. Let me
know...
