I'd much rather have issues go directly into Trac and get closed quickly than that they get lost.
Sometimes I get an email when a Trac bug report is for one of my libraries, sometimes I don't. I'm not sure if that's a problem with Trac or with an over aggressive spam filter at my email provider.
If the bug's component field is not set to a library for which you're listed as the owner, you won't get email.
Not sure what the best policy is. Trac seems best for those who don't follow the list closely.
And most of our *users* don't. Those of us who are active contributors know how to get stuff done. People who run into the recommendation about how to report bugs are most likely not subscribed to boost-devel, and asking them to subscribe just makes it harder for us to find out when something goes wrong.
Discussion seems to have died down without anyone expressing a passionate opinion other than me, so unless someone pipes up soon I'm going to change that page to recommend filing Trac tickets. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
