I agree, but nothing we can do about it.  The Zope Collectors (trackers)
have a similar policy, BTW (only the OP or a site manager can attach files
to a collector issue).  There must be a sysadminy kind of fear underlying
this, but don't know what it is.

In any case, I restored your "Tech & Admin" status on the Python bug
tracker, so you can resume distributing warez disguised as patches.

For the duration, people who want to attach files will need to get a Python
developer to attach them (all Python developers I added to the project have
the "Tech & Admin" role on all Python trackers; developers added by other
project admins may not; if you're a Python developer and cannot attach a
file to a tracker item, let me know and I'll boost your permissions).
