+1 I would like tkinter changes grouped together.

There have been similar requests to more finely divide tracker issues.

Since there are about 400 modules, an alternative would be to group by 
package or doc chapter.  The 30 chapters after the 5 built-in chapters 
are a much more manageable number for both the tracker and NEWS.

Having IDLE issues (which groups 60 related modules) split out 
tremendously helps IDLE users.  But it need not be the only such grouping.
