Triaging Python tickets

Python has a ton of stalled tickets, and in particular tickets that report bugs that haven't been confirmed, or that have patches that haven't been reviewed. Python needs more people triaging these tickets; want to help?

Overview

This section of the CPython developer guide details triaging tickets. Please note that any registered user can comment on a ticket, but one must have "Developer" rights in the issue tracker to update fields.

If you don't have Developer rights, don't worry! Leave detailed comments on a ticket, and everyone on the nosy list will get an email. With your documented triage, you've greatly increased the chance that someone who can update the fields will review your comments and move the ticket forward.

Also, if you do this for a while, you'll get Developer rights so you can make the ticket field changes yourself!
