The great advantage of the bug-tracker is that it allows requests to be handled in a structured way. It is easy to find specific types of enhancement requests in the bug-tracker and examine the priority they have been given and the discussion that followed them. Getting this information from a forum is usually much more difficult. It is quite reasonable to bring up enhancement ideas in a forum and discuss them there until they are reasonably specific and coherent, but once that has happened it is helpful to have an enhancement request created in the bug-tracker. If the developers don't like them, they can always be classified as WONTFIX or NOTABUG.
