The bug tracker is an issue and in my opinion a development hindrance,
too. It contains almost 1,400 bugs, about 450 w/o a target version and
about 400 more bugs with a target version <= 2.4.

The bug tracker was discussed two threads "Bug tracker: meaning of
resolution keywords" and "1324 bugs in the tracker" lately. I don't want
to repeat the arguments here but Brett's answer
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/90137 is worth reading.
