I found this to be convenient: http://techtonik.rainforce.org/2013/11/roundup-tracker-create-issues-by-email.html And this is missing from here: http://docs.python.org/release/2.7/bugs.html#using-the-python-issue-tracker Anf from here: http://docs.python.org/devguide/triaging.html Disclaimer: I didn't sign the CLA, and people keep telling me that I need it to do documentation edits. But I edit Wikipedia freely and I find it wrong that I can not edit Python documentation without signing papers. So I am not sending patches until either Wikipedia requires CLA to edit its contents, or PSF abandons its ill FUD policies in favor of creating collaborative environment. Regarding my aforementioned blog post, feel free to copy-paste it, as an author I release this into CC0/public domain. Ask python-legal-sig if it is enough.
I'd be just as happy to not document this. The fact that you need an account first means that people will try to submit without an account, and get a bounce. It also works better when people reply on the bug tracker rather than by email. I'd not want to take the capability away, but I'd prefer to not document or encourage it. That, however, is just my opinion.
