There is a genuine question here: bluntly said, are bug reports still welcome?
The above is one person's viewpoint. Since he is not a CPython core developer, I am not sure what he means by 'developer'. Anyone who programs in Python 'developes' the programs they write. It is true that students and beginners tend to make less useful reports. But yes, bug reports are still welcome.
In the tradition of the Free Software movement, reporting bugs is considered an act of good citizenship. If the scarcity of developer time makes it no longer be the case for cPython, it'd rather be broadly communicated to users.
What we need is for people to be less shy about helping with *other* people's reports. -- Terry Jan Reedy
