From that I can see the version in vendor branch doesn't match the version of
the tracker instances used.
If there is a reason for that branch to stay, I would like to know it, because I
would like to hack/test some features for python.org and if there are any
limitations it is better to know about them beforehand.
There is, of course, a need for a vendor branch: it is the baseline of the code
that we run. Unfortunately, it isn't used for that, but I wouldn't want to remove
it.
If you don't need it, just don't check it out.
Why it should be kept there?
If there is nobody to do such simple clean up then expect it to grow into a big
pile of garbage that consumes bandwidth, disk space and braincycles.
Sorry, I do not possess commit privileges to keep Python developers busy with
important tasks.
