Please don't. Not here.

There's a wonderful bug tracker at python.org. Use that. That's where
this kind of thing belongs. And, please, be concise.

What's the point of shouting it out here anyway? Just fix what you think
needs fixing! Sure, you can come here to ask for comments on your new
and improved API. Sure, when you've got something presentable, come here
and show us.

But nobody needs this kind of rant, rantingrick.
