Titus,
Having a "core mentor" would be great but do they really have time for that? I've been lucky at finding people in #python / #python-dev) that can answer development inquiries (or at least verify something is or is not a bug).
With respects to the bug tracker, when I select Search and Python
2.6, I retrieved 208 open bugs. At a quick glance, I found two that were windows, but not tagged appropriately. If it's worthwhile, I can spend some time this evening browsing the list of current 2.6 bugs to see if there are any duplicates, collisions, etc.

-- which makes it the place for cleanup and additional testing, as well
as backwards-incompatible bug fixes...
