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.
Have a nice day,
