There's another reason it won't happen:  I know python-dev@python.org is a
legit email address.  Half the time I use an address from a random netizen,
it bounces (usually due to "anti spam" gimmickery in the address), and the
whole exercise becomes a double waste of time.  There's a fine line between
not being helpful and being rude all the same <wink>.
