    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).
