Hello,

In the http://bugs.python.org/issue10093 discussion, I proposed to add a specific warning category for unclosed files. The rationale is that these warnings will happen in destructors and therefore filtering by line number and filename doesn't make sense. So a new category would be useful in order to allow defining specific rules.

Sounds like a reasonable suggestion to me.

Do you think it would go against the moratorium?

It's not clear to me one way or the other, but I suspect yes.
