I don't think anything is wrong with the list, and I assume neither does
Justin.

But occasionally the bug submit form is misused for troubleshooting
performance problems "Bug #42: Query is too slow"

I could imagine that having a separate form to report performance problems
and asking for different pieces of information which then sends that to this
list (instead of bugs) isn't a bad idea.

However I am not sure that the frequency of the bug-list misuse warrants that.
