I don't see the need to do anything about this. Python works correctly,
and the documentation correctly describes how it works, and how using
mutable objects as default values typically doesn't do what the
programmer normally expects.

In any case, a bug report is not the place to request such a change. At
a minimum, a PEP would have to be written (which then likely can't be
accepted before Python 4.0).
