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).
The problem is that there are several hundred issue updates on drupal.org and several dozens of new issues every day. Now, if every developer would announce his/her newly created issue, how many e- mails would you get?
IMHO, mailing lists are pretty well known for being email intensive.
There is a difference in receiving 20 emails a day and receiving 500 e-mails a day.
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.
Nodbody tells you to not post to the development mailing list if - and only if - the issue has to be discussed on the mailing list rather than in the issue queue. Konstantin Käfer – http://kkaefer.com/
