Me to. Are thery really never any *nix specific bugs? There are *nix 
specific features, so bugs in those features would be.

It is being done well now, but it is possible that some of those doing 
so could move up to patch review, or something, if there were more triagers.

I started by registering and just making unofficial triage comments like 
'behavior matches doc' followed by 'recommend closing as invalid' or 
'recommend changing to feature request' or 'recommend changing to doc 
improvement request' as I thought best. Eventually (after about a year) 
a committer noticed that he (nearly) always agreed and gave me admin 
privileges to make the changes directly. David's #python-dev suggestion 
would speed that process ;-) I might even give it a try sometime when I 
am in doubt and would otherwise not do anything. One way or the other, 
give it a try.
