IMHO this yields a different question: is a mailing list a suitable method to report/track/discuss *bugs* discovered by end-users?

+1

The libraries list has uses for discssion of library related issues but is not really a good venue for reporting bugs. We should probably use a *bug tracker* for bugs.

It may be more effective for Hackage to link to a web page with bug reporting instructions rather than a maintainer email.
