Well, you need to get some agreement on what the bug tracker is for. Is it: a) a front-end to deal with complaints and bugs people have. Is it something you expect end users to look at? This is how Debian uses its bug-tracker, to make sure issues people bring up don't get lost. You can always close the bug if it isn't a real bug. Or: b) a private bug database only used by -hackers to track known outstanding bugs and patches. If you want the latter, the approach would be to keep pgsql-bugs and when a real issue comes up, bounce it to the bug tracker. Any subsequent email discussion should then get logged in the bug report.
