[racket] Fix for dherman/json

To chime in, I've found Python's PyPi setup to work quite well. It
doesn't handle any issue tracking, it will instead provide a reference
URL to the repository (GitHub, BitBucket, whatever) that the author is
using for version control which usually will have an issue tracker built
in.

I like that approach much more because most of my time is spent on
BitBucket and I would prefer to keep it there instead of switching
around to different setups.

PLaneT should only be a distribution medium (as PyPi is)... IMHO of
course!
