I think you are missing the point of the commenting system: these
comments are *not* directed towards the package author. Instead, they
are directed towards fellow users of the package. For this kind of
message, a bugtracker is completely inappropriate, as is a mailing list,
or any other kind of support forum.

I agree that users asking for support should not use the PyPI commenting
system.
