Well, the underscore in the module name indicates that such modules
are private implementation details, hence why _ssl is undocumented.

python-dev would probably be the best place to ask, since they have
the ultimate say on whether to accept your patch:
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev/
and/or you can file a bug in the tracker with your patch attached:
http://bugs.python.org/

On the face of it, the feature sounds fairly useful for debugging.

Cheers,
Chris
