I think you are missing the point of the commenting system: these comments are *not* directed towards the package author. Instead, they are directed towards fellow users of the package. For this kind of message, a bugtracker is completely inappropriate, as is a mailing list, or any other kind of support forum. I agree that users asking for support should not use the PyPI commenting system.
