Says who?  Sadly IMHO this has been one of the worst aspects of Python 
development.  I've seen 10 year old bugs happily sitting on the bug 
tracker.  Thankfully that is slowly changing.  The core mentorship 
program is helping, plus the gradual reduction in the number of versions 
that need supporting as 2.6 is now out of support and we move towards 
3.4.  However there are still 4275 open issues on the bug tracker. 
Anyone up to help out, the pay and perks are really good? :)
