Yeah, totally agree; I did it for io.BytesIO vs cStringIO performance issue (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11037213), and Python core devs fixed it very fast even though the fix was far from trivial. You have to wait a year or so before next release to use the fix, but that's expected.

For URL parsing it was just a quick profiling session. Also, stdlib URL parsing was a bottleneck even in Python 2. It takes time to benchmark it properly and submit a meaningful issue to bug tracker or explain the problem in python-dev. It is in my todo list, but you only have so much time :)
