   If there are answers on the mailing list then I can copy them to the
tracker. I don't know PHP so could go searching through manuals for the
answer but probably wouldn't so the item would be marked "I won't be
working on this" or similar.

   With a mailing list multiple people read each message and once one
has answered then others can see that there is no need to do so again.
Answering on the tracker is less visible so there can be an extra answer
on the mailing list. The tracker could be made more visible by
forwarding changed tracker items to the mailing list as well (other
projects do this, I think) but because they are not directly to the list
they go to moderation so often won't turn up for half a day.
