I've found SF's behaviour to be inconsistent at best in this regard -
the only way to get the messages reliably is to subscribe to both the
python-bugs and python-patches lists. (As an aside: Why do we keep both
these lists going? Why not simply point all of the trackers at
python-bugs. I can see no reason why you'd want to know about only one
of the trackers...)
