Ahem. As I indicated in my first response to Sean, the first thing I did
was to check the tracker for issues listing 'damgerjim' on the nosy
list. (Simce people who post messages get auto-added to such and I do
not see a message versus issue search page.) I found none and asked Sean
for more info. When Sean provided more, I made more
particular-to-the-situation responses. I separately posted, in a new
thread, a suggestion that we change the tracker to eliminate busywork
rather than recruit new people to do it for us. What a way to drive new
recruits away.
===============
Several people have asked "what danger?". The most delicate part of
triage is closing issues that should never have been opened, either
because they ask questions that belong on python-list or make foolish
bug claims. These come from newbies who could be driven away from Python
by less than polite responses from someone with 'official' status. So,
again, I think someone should actively exhibit the ability to politely
respond to strangers before being given 'official' power to close issues.
