It's good to know which specific version of Python a bug was reported against, and e.g. "2.1.1" is more informative than "2.x.y". Perhaps the unspoken assumption here is that you and/or Anthony want the Group to identify ... what? Something else, I guess .

It would be nice to know the version, yes, but I'm more looking for things like 'to what does this bug apply'? That a bug was reported against 2.0.1 is completely irrelevant if it's a new bug which has lurked for years. As it is, with the poor filtering and display options available through SF, I can't say 'show me all outstanding 2.1.x bugs'.

Given the nastiness of working with the trackers, perhaps this isn't a good idea after all. I don't see how we can get the FRs out of the bug tracker, tho.

(I think I'm just spoilt having Richard sitting in the same office. I can ask him to make our roundup do what we want, assuming I can't do it myself...)
