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.

The bug tracker is an issue and in my opinion a development hindrance, too. It contains almost 1,400 bugs, about 450 w/o a target version and about 400 more bugs with a target version <= 2.4.

The bug tracker was discussed two threads "Bug tracker: meaning of resolution keywords" and "1324 bugs in the tracker" lately. I don't want to repeat the arguments here but Brett's answer http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/90137 is worth reading.
