Mail is consistently sent from rep...@bugs.python.org, always from the same IP 
address, 46.4.197.70.  46.4.197.70 resolves to bugs.python.org.

So, we are meeting the requirements set forth in the article you link.  I've 
asked about adding SPF records, which I don't *think* we currently publish, but 
per the linked doc, that shouldn't be *necessary* to satisfy google.

We have a suspicion that they are marked as spam because spammers fake from 
addresses and send messages to the tracker, which automatically sends back the 
registration email (since it hasn't seen that email address before), and the 
from address recipient marks the message as spam...which information then makes 
its way into one or more pattern recognition databases.  At this point I'm not 
sure there's much we can do about it, though I would be in favor of eliminating 
the auto-registration response (ie: generate a registration email only if 
registration is requested via the web interface, not implicitly via email).  
But I'm not at all sure that fixing that now would have any affect on whatever 
database it is that has the registration emails marked as "likely spam".

If I'm right about the above, though, it means that google's bounce email 
is...well, lying is probably to strong a term, but misrepresenting, at 
least...the reason the email is being marked as spam.
