Well, bug reports are simple: they belong in the issue tracker. That's where users are encouraged to report them. Let's look at a few other "categories" of emails that come in:

"How do I do X": I agree with Greg that we should encourage users to use Stack Overflow for this. We can update the Yesod site to make this clear, but as should be obvious, no one on the Yesod team can actually control where people send their questions.

You actually do control what mailing list the Yesod community goes to. Web-devel is listed as the first point of contact on your community pages, and I'm sure most Yesod users found it through your site.

Let me reiterate: I can encourage users, not control their actions. Any belief to the contrary far overstates my telekinetic abilities.

Yup, I assume the Yesod team can't telepatically convince users who prefer mailing lists to stay off web-devel in favor of stack overflow. IMHO that makes you rude for not providing an official alternative.. Isak
