There are many things that are possible with a bug tracker and not 
email. For example, a new developer can understand what choices were 
made 10 years before, and why.

But, yes, we do use the mailing list at times to pinpoint bugs. Actually 
some bugs or even new features just got fixed/implemented this way recently.
