Adding the following line to /etc/hosts makes the bug tracker fast
when python.org is down:

127.0.0.1  python.org

This is because bugs.python.org works fine, but it links to CSS files
and images that are on python.org. Forcing DNS lookups for python.org
to return localhost makes the requests for these resources fail fast.

A more long-term solution would be to duplicate all the resources to
bugs.python.org...
