I'd like to run such a redirector on python.sf.net. Would people like to see that happen (http://python.sf.net/bug/number and /patch/number).

Tracker IDs come from a common pool; ideally there'd be a way to map from the ID to either a bug or a patch, but the redirector would have to be smarter (it would have to figure out which to use).

Multiple development trackers are evil. The only one of the "standard" four that get created for a new project which should be separate is the support tracker. Bugs/patches/features should be coalesced into one thing. The current configuration of the trackers on SF has more to do with their legacy than anything else.
