Sorry--should have been more explicit.  Was still expecting the option
to be --no-check.  Just asking for a change to the way it's stored.
Like this in the python dev guide:

parser.add_option("--clobber", action="store_true", dest="clobber")
parser.add_option("--no-clobber", action="store_false", dest="clobber")

In your case, I don't think you need to add the "check" option too,
but just store to the "check" option:

parser.add_option('--no-check', action='store_false', dest='check',
                  default=True,
                  help="Don't check for patch compliance")
