This will weed out the "defective user" caused bugs, and will produce a pinpoint accurate symptom description for the overworked developer. There are many things that are possible with a bug tracker and not email. For example, a new developer can understand what choices were made 10 years before, and why. But, yes, we do use the mailing list at times to pinpoint bugs. Actually some bugs or even new features just got fixed/implemented this way recently.
