AFAIU this is what happened:
1) someone pushed something on h.p.o;
2) the roundup hook added a message about the commit to the tracker, through 
the "python-dev" user;
3) the irker hook was supposed to send a message on IRC, but there was a 
problem and it raised an exception;
4) at that point the mail you saw was sent back to the "python-dev" user to 
inform him that there was a problem with the submission, and a second mail with 
the traceback was sent to the tracker admins;

There are two possible reasons why this arrived to the python-dev ML:
1) because the fromaddr used by the hgroundup hook might be set to 
python-...@python.org;
2) because python-...@python.org is listed among the alternate mail addresses 
of the "python-dev" user;

These could both be changed to tracker-discuss, but I'm not able to change the 
hgroundup myself (I think this should be done in the hgrc of the hooks repo: 
http://hg.python.org/hooks/file/fc6022656a7b/hgroundup.py#l70).
