SUMMARY: If you, Marco, want to get dicts subclasses made faster and you
seriously think that they can be, open a proper issue on
bugs.python.org., as I describe in 3 below.
In any case, drop this tread, which started off wrongly.
August 6, in response to the weekly post,
Summary of Python tracker Issues

What I thought at the time or think now:
1. Starting a new topic in a reply to something else is a beginner
mistake. For one thing, such posts tend to get ignored, as this was.
2. This post has the form of spam intended to drive traffic elsewhere: a
teaser giving essentially no information and a link to follow to get
some. Most posts of this form are filtered out by moderators. Even
when passed, such posts tend to be ignored.
3. Pydev, as well as b.p.o., are for improving Python and CPython. A
post intended to help do that might look like:
"Subclasses of dict are much slower that dict.
<Sentence giving an example or two.>
[Note that slower in itself is known and not surprising.]
The reason seems to be <a few sentences of explanation>,
possibly followed by the SO link>
"I think dicts subclasses could be made faster by
<give approach based on reasons for slowness>.
4. Such a post should probably go on b.p.o. unless you think there is a
policy issue that might prevent a patch. A pydev post should address
the issue.
On August 12, you complained about the lack of response
(for which I have given two reasons above)
> No ideas? Excuse me for the up.
"up"? There is no update. A ping after just 4 days is a bit spammy.
Good thing not everyone does that.
In response Paul Moore asked about a b.p.o. issue, as nothing happens
without one. And

A perhaps snarky response to a slightly spammy pair of posts. You were
clearly looking for clicks. Twice. Since you do not own the site, Why?
This is unacceptable. I pretend your immediate excuses.
As Chris implied, the second 'sentence' is not grammatical English. I
can vaguely imagine a couple of things you might mean, but will not
guess. But please stop what you started so badly.
