IMHO the development mailing list is the best place to point out these issues and elicit interactions from people who aren't routinely going through issues all day long, who are not yet aware of that particular issue or perhaps of drupal's ability to subscribe to them (I didn't know about that for a very long time).

A not totally well formed mail is - in my opinion - much better than having people thwarted for fear of *clogging* other people's mail boxes. But of course that's my opinion. Others may disagree.

People who are interested in that issue will subscribe to it and get
email notifications when it is updated. If everyone sent an email to
dev when they posted/updated an issue we'd all drown in emails. Let's
try and keep the signal/noise ratio high like Moshe is talking about.<br>

Still opinions on why this feature should (or should not?) be included
in drupal.<br>

Thanks for your time :-)<br>
