Lauri,

I personally like that the bugs go through the list.  I watch the list for bugs related to
applications I have written documentation for.  

I believe it is possible to set the preferences so that a user (in this case, the mailing list)
only recieves certain changes.  If so, you could probably reduce the traffic significantly by
having bugs.kde.org only send a mail to the mailing list when a bug is created.

It is not the end of the world for me if others would prefer to have no messages sent, just
thought I would let you know I do use the notices myself.
