Matthieu> Any idea when this patch could land on master ?

It's hard to say.

For ordinary-ish patches, I tend to wait a couple of weeks and then just
check them in if they haven't been commented on.

For something like this, though, I'd normally wait and/or ping it until
there's some review; the difference being that a big change to how new
Python code should be written ought to have some buy-in.

I suppose I could land this particular one sooner.  That's a little
weird since it's not actually used by anything.  OTOH it unblocks stuff
you're doing.
