That's exactly why here we have automated actions performed. (and on the other 
hand, nothing forces you to provide a fix, to code, to go outside of you bed …)

And when we will try to tackle issues to fix, we will iterate over all mailing 
list thread to find them ?
If discussion like this happened in the issue tracker
        - people not implied in Pharo bug fixing (aka people without an account 
on fogbugz) do not get massively spammed
        - when someone want to fix this, he/she will not have to try to 
remember what it's about, guess the discussion was in the mailing list, 
retrieve the thread, etc …

If you think that your time is more precious that any one else's, then maybe 
you missed what a community is …

People spent time setting up the issue tracker to make it fit into our usual 
workflow, writing documentation about how to report an issue, and it has been 
decided that it was the way we (the community) manage bugs.
Managing them in a mailing list has already been tried, and was not successful.

I hate to blame, but the way you are acting know is just saying "I will not try 
to fit into the community workflow, I will stick to mine, and people will have 
to adapt'. I am sorry, it doesn't work.

PS: I flag your issue resolved (since a fix has been proposed), as explained 
here[1], it's the first and last time. My time is not less precious than yours
