There is a genuine question here: bluntly said, are bug reports still
welcome?
The above is one person's viewpoint. Since he is not a CPython core
developer, I am not sure what he means by 'developer'. Anyone who
programs in Python 'developes' the programs they write.
It is true that students and beginners tend to make less useful reports.
But yes, bug reports are still welcome.
In the tradition of the Free Software movement, reporting bugs
is considered an act of good citizenship. If the scarcity of developer
time makes it no longer be the case for cPython, it'd rather be broadly
communicated to users.
What we need is for people to be less shy about helping with *other*
people's reports.
