Beside the fix, we need tests, documentation, release notes fragment....
sometimes compatibility with python 2 and python3... so I would say that
Twisted is not designed for low-energy contributors.

I would like to thank Craig for monitoring the Twisted PR. For low-energy
dudes, like me, it is of great help as I am only monitoring the Twisted's
official review queue (https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/report/25) which is
already huge.

Thanks again Craig and keep up the good work ! :)
