It does seem to alleviate it :) Sorry for not noticing!
However, could the following be removed from the list:
“Is there a proper unit test that can reproduce the bug?”
We don't need or require unit tests to reproduce bugs; and besides,
some things simply are very difficult to write an unit test for. A
reporter need not be an experienced Python developer able (or willing)
to write an elaborate unit test reproducing, for example, a timing
issue involving Unix signals and the IO stack ;)
Fair enough. I will remove it.
Well, *often* a test that exposes the issue can be written - and if so
it is a useful exercise (surely).
