Who administers bugs.python.org, and can we get a notice on the setuptools tracker?
Hi. Not sure who this should go to, but it would be really good if we could get a prominent notice on the old setuptools tracker (at bugs.python.org), specifically on the issue creation screen, to inform people that this tracker is only for setuptools 0.6, and that issues for later versions should go to https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issues instead (with a link, of course). Right now, what's happening is that, despite all the other prominent links to the correct tracker, there are still people going to the old tracker and posting issues for the newer versions of setuptools. This means they then have to wait for me to tell them they're in the wrong place, and then resubmit to the correct tracker. Setuptools 0.6 is still supported, so closing the tracker entirely isn't appropriate just yet, but putting up a prominent notice on the issue submission screen saying, "If you're reporting an issue for setuptools 0.7 or higher, please use....". Thanks in advance!
I filed the request on the metatracker: http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/issue522

Thanks! That should keep me from having to keep telling people their princess is in another castle. ;-)
