The people who handle bug reports are normal users, and there's a
natural tendency to be intimidated by discussions like this one.
If a technical discussion is going on between a contributor (you)
and a developer (Joe), we just tend to leave it alone.

If you send a minimal example to this list, and no developer
responds within a few days to begin discussing a patch, then I
would expect somebody to add it to the tracker.  I'm not certain
if that has always happened, though.
