I'm sorry but I've already spent more time and effort than 99% of
casual contributors are expected to spend in 2012, namely:

- Looked for a "submit new ticket" link or button on the tracker page,
didn't find one, figured it doesn't allow anonymous tickets.
- Signed up for yet another site account I'll probably won't have to
visit again.
- Emailed to python-proje...@logilab.org 10 days ago, got an
auto-reply that my email is being held until the list moderator can
review it for approval, reason being "Post by non-member to a
members-only list". WTF was the signup for if I am still not a member?
- Somehow found the Mailman page and registered for yet another
useless (to me) mailing list, powered by ugly antiquated software.
- Posted the email that actually appeared on the list, including a
clean patch with updated passing tests.
- Was asked to jump through one more hoop to create a ticket on the
tracker for whatever policy/bookkeeping reasons.
- I tried to login to logilab.org for creating the ticket and was
welcomed by an an invalid SSL certificate.
- After adding a temporary certificate exception, I got authentication
failure. Not very likely given that I use LastPass for auto generating
and entering passwords.
- Oh what the hell, let's pretend I forgot my password and enter my
email and captcha for recovery.
- Password recovery email arrives but it's broken too:
  """
  If you requested this password change, please set a new password by
following the link below:

  None
  """
- That's it, screw it; I'm out.

Bottom line, if your site is not hacked (which wouldn't surprise me at
all after all these red flags), it's horribly broken. Apologies for
the rant but It's ridiculous to have to go through all this BS in
2012, when for most other projects I would have forked them, pushed my
patch and made a pull request in less time than it took me to figure
out how am I supposed to contribute to pylint.
