Comment:

 I think the timeout is working fine here and there is no need to increase
 the default. One could theoretically use a filter like `http_request_args`
 to up the timeout time when necessary. We could also add a filter to the
 arguments that `trackback()` pushes to the HTTP request.

 Suggesting wontfix for the timeout, though something managing the upper
 limit of trackback attempts for a URL could be interesting.
