This raises a related question.  Where should we file issues for
Python-controlled things that are outside the scope of the cpython
repository (or the devguide) and that are not issues with the tracker
(which has its own tracker -- the meta tracker).

For example, where should we file an issue for hg.python.org if we
suspect the issue is with how we've customized things rather than with
Mercurial's hgweb itself.  The main bugs tracker has a component for
"Devguide" but not for other non-cpython repository things like
hg.python.org.
