Plenty of issues do rot there, it doesn't bother me much. If you don't want to triage Anatoly's issues, don't; maybe someone else (Mark Lawrence? :-) will.
The real problem with trolls in an open community is that there'll always be new people to fall in their traps. We may not pay attention anymore, but other people will.
Here's a small recap:
Anatoly has repeatably hostile rhetorics towards core development and the contribution process
he refuses to abide by some of our (rather lax, IMHO) contribution rules (e.g. CLA)
he continuously veers into meta-discourse (complaining about the development process)
he always rehashes the same obsessions
he was warned about his behaviour and acknowledges that his interaction is not satisfactory
he nevertheless refuses to change his behaviour
his behaviour has spawned several distinct threads over the time here at python-committers, purely about him and nothing else (i.e. it's not a hidden systemic issue)
his behaviour has been going on for years

Antoine.
