Can we please have an informative title? Bug #915: Please help tells me nothing.

  Whenever I come across a mailing list bug or a reddit post or similar with a "PLEASE HELP ME!" title I just auto-downvote/remove/delete it. I refer to them as "help-me zombies". They have no brains and they want to eat yours. They don't know what they need help with, but they need help.

  I knew from the domain name that it would be interesting; Ned Batchelder is no dummy.

    Sure, but many of us have know idea who they are, and an informative title really helps, even if you're familiar with the source.

  The original title was something like "Ned Batchelder, the author of coverage.py, was asking for help on Bug #915", but it was against the guidelines, so the title was restored.
