to add a few more reasons to angie's excellent post:

- email makes it impossible for anyone else to help (either co- 
maintainers or non-maintainers who already know the answer).
- you can't track/change the status of an email
- you can't assign email to someone else (other than forwarding it)
- you can't re-classify an email into a more appropriate issue queue
...

so yes, down with email, up with issue queues. ;)

cheers,
