Yes, it's hidden, and Fred had to show me too.

First, login to SourceForge.  Then, go to the Python Project.  In the
left sidebar, under Project: Python, go to Project Admin.  Near the
top, you now see some navigation links; go to Edit Public Info.
At the very bottom there are three text fields for email addresses.

The address for New Patches (a misnomer -- it's really all changes
made to the Patch Manager) says patches@python.org.

The address for New Bugs is currently set to guido@beopen.com.  I
suppose I should set it to pythoneers@beopen.com or even to
python-dev@python.org?

We're not using the Support manager yet.
