mhh - that really is a matter of taste. from my personal view, i find it 
difficult to track patches or bugs if one must dig for that into a ML 
archive. for you developers it`s ok, to filter them out from the ML. but - if 
other people want to take a look, what problems have probably been resolved, 
they don`t have the same "view" of the things, like you have, because your 
bugfix/patchcollection is somewhat "non public" (because of too much "ML-noise" 
around). isn`t it? from another sf-projekt i`m related somewhat (rockbox) i can 
say: bug and patchtracking seems to work just fine. the project maintaines even 
recommend, that contributors should sending language-file-updates as patches to SF 
patchtracker. everybody can easily take it out there - add comments - and more 
important - see what the status is or when it has been merged. as an example, the 
"configuration management" the rockbox/haxx.se guys (btw: curl is from them,too) is 
marvellous, imho. (see http://rockbox.haxx.se ->recent cvs activity,daily builds,cvs 
compile status,bleeding edge builds,bug reports,patches....  )
just cool! 
ok - we cannot really compare these projects side by side, they are very different.

see what i mean? 5-6 times posted - but people need a helping hand to find them.
ok - i cannot arrogate, to tell you code wizards(respect!) how to work - but perhaps 
i can give some pro`s/con`s. okok - last words - i shut up now ;)
