[pydotorg-www] rejecting-troll Lemburg calls 20 new ed in 2017 a "success"

[Alex Walters]

Can you please stop flooding the list?

The spam policy isn't going to change.  Yes it sucks that we have to go
through this, but we don't have the manpower to handle the spam if we only
had automated logins.  There are a lot of project wikis that are like this,
including postgres and *every single GitHub wiki* by default.

If you want to manage the automated spam that besieges wikis around the net,
by all means do so.  Announce it on psf-community.  This list is about the
web infrastructure run by the psf.  Advertising here isn't helpful, and is a
great way to dilute your own point with ill will.
