I wanted to ask a policy question on the bug tracker. What are we
doing with bugs filed against Python 2.4?
This bug http://bugs.python.org/issue1208304 reports a fd leak in
Python 2.4, which doesn't exist in the head. Since Python 2.4 is in
security-fix only mode, is it fair to close this with a won't fix?

A meta-question: Is there a document that has any tips on how to
handle bug reports? It might be helpful to have a list of hints or
policy decisions to help people decide what to do with bugs.

If a bug exists and is fixed in a later release -- I would call it 'out
of date' instead.

Hmm. You have a point, but it should be "Fixed" then, and we have indeed
closed bug reports as "fixed" if later releases fixed the bug.

It probably doesn't really matter - if the complaint was specifically
that the bug is in 2.4.x, with a request to fix it in 2.4.x+1, then
it's "won't fix".

Martin
