It seems that several people get confused with the Trac documentation:

Trac is being deployed on many web sites as a bug tracker, and when
people look for help about a product, they follow the default help
messages, which lead to the Trac ML:

1. People look for help on "product"
http://server/projects/product/

2. Click on "Help/Guide" at the top.
http://server/projects/product/wiki/TracGuide

3. Then find the link to MailList:
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/MailingList

If we want to avoid further trouble, I would suggest that we
differenciate the help on Trac web site from the default wiki pages
that come with the Trac distribution package. Having a big red box on
Trac web site does not prevent everyone from submitting invalid 'test'
tickets, so imagine how a direct reference to the Trac ML can be
(mis)understood...

The more Trac will be used, the more wrongly targetted ML messages we'll get...
Besides, once Trac is installed there's no guarantee that the local
admins will update their default wiki pages to remove references to
the Trac ML.
