I think that there still is something thats not captured in mailing
lists. Since many OE users
do not interact with lists for whatever reason. May be its known to
many to use some form
of bug tracking system or due to its webinterface its accessible I
dont know could be many reasons
Some integration from commits to bugz id# would be informative.
so if someone fixes a bug then it gets updated via a post push hook or some such

Basically we need people who look into bugzilla and act on bugs in
addition to mailing list
and patchwork which is additional work. I personally would be happy if
users could report issues
on the mailing lists since that unifies the workflow.
