I think the biggest issues with ticket systems is that not everyone reads them. At least on a mailing list the issues brought up (and the huge comment chains that result from them) are highly visible, and give people the visual indication that "this may be important to follow". Unfortunately, people don't follow every ticket in github or similar and there is a serious concern with discussions that take place only in issue trackers. Issue trackers are great for ensuring everything is handled, but less great as a place for discussion. IMHO, of course. -- Wes Hardaker USC/ISI
