There is a mechanism to avoid spam that might be appropriate here,
though it requires some additional infrastructure:
- "report an issue" on the website is a webmail form, sending to
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:issues@python.org">issues@python.org</a> (which is also available as a direct email contact)
- that address goes to an IMAP folder (gmail?) where spam may be
filtered and immediate issues resolved without involving the tracker
(ie. "I can't figure how to download Python")
- messages appropriate for the tracker are moved to a "tracker" IMAP folder
- Roundup fetches messages from just the "tracker" IMAP folder

But that would require regular triage, right?
I don't think we can find volunteers for that. We can't even do triage
on the bug reports that we do get.

Actually bug report triage is very good now. We have a *few* committed
volunteers who do it (a relatively recent development - in particular
Taggnostr, flox, Haypo, Brian Curtin, David R. Murray and
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
Giampaolo Rodola - sorry for the IRC handles). They ensure new bug
reports are closed promptly if possible or assigned to the correct
person. I don't recall us ever being in better shape from this
perspective.<br>
