  The problem with submitting to the mailing list is that it is too easy for 
things to just get lost.

  Simplest example being that every thinks someone else will take and apply the 
patch, and no one ever does, and thus the patch is no longer applied.

  While the tracker may be less convenient, at least there is a definite record 
- it is open until someone takes some action on it.  No way for it to really 
fall through the cracks.
