You know, it is only effective when it works!  The SF tracker did not work
for me.  I filed a bug, and checked it was correctly saved (through tedious
paging all over).  Then, much later, I received a message from a maintainer
saying that my report was empty.  It surely was not after I filed it.

I guess the SF tracker works only for those using it very often :-).

Slow, hardly usable, and not even dependable.  Email might be less
black-holish, after all.  Moreover, most people (maintainers included)
know how to read and file an email.  I've a hard time believing people
who tell me that maintainers are unable to sort emails without loosing
them, or that I can really sort their own email better than they can.
I usually praise maintainers as intelligent people. :-)
