Thanks, somehow I managed to be oblivious to patches & bugs being
essentially the same thing on SF. :-)
The SF URLs are different (or atleast, they used to be (*), as they
also include the "tracker ID" and the "project ID", and SF complains
if you guess either wrong.
Therefore, I wrote http://www.python.org/sf/ (also accessible
through sf?id=) which looks an ID up in all trackers, in sequence,
and caches the result in a file. Unfortunately, this
a) fails if the item gets moved between trackers
b) takes some time on the first access
Nevertheless, it works in most cases, and it is easier to
remember - especially as the shortest form is
python.org/sf/<itemid>
(browsers will add the http://, DNS will add the www.,
and the script will forward to SF index.php)

(*) Apparently, SF now supports an (apparently undocumented) URL format of
http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=<itemid>
I'ld like to try this some day more systematically, to see whether it
would help simplifying the current Python script on python.org.
