That would have been another solution, yes (the one we use for kspread and krita bugs).
The main downside is that if anyone writes to kdelibs-bugs at kde.org directly the mail
goes nowhere. (This is why we called the aliases kspread-bugs-null and krita-bugs-null, but well).
I think a mailing-list is a simpler solution (for people to join) and creates more of a community feeling :-)
It makes filtering easier, too.
