There is no b.p.o issue as it's not a bug, but a tiny copy/paste patch to clean up the code a bit while I am trying to understand how to add Python to the PATH.
I see no reason for b.p.o bureaucracy. Mercurial-style workflow [1] is more beneficial to development as it doesn't require switching from console to browser for submitting changes. This way tiny changes can be integrated/updated more rapidly.
The tracker is not bureaucracy, it's how our development process works. I know that Mercurial uses a different process, with patches always going to the mailing list and being reviewed there, but that would be way too much volume for python-dev considering our number of patches. BTW, you should be able to send emails to report@bugs.python.org in order to create new issues, and attachments will automatically become attached to the bug reports. Georg
