Automatic scanner for broken links

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Python site has many broken links, but site maintainers are not aware of them, 
because:
1. They do not monthly run link scanners
2. It is hard to report broken link

The first problem can be resolved by having a link scanner for python.org 
pages. The scanner can also track site structure and structure changes. It can 
be tuned to be silent when some links are offline due to maintenance. See also 
issue #4

As for the second part, there should be an link to report form (or tracker like 
this) available from all site pages. It should be extremely easy to report site 
issue (preferably with screenshot - see Chromium/Google for that). No 
complicated registration, or use facebook/Google/other id.
