I used sofar my local email filter to keep the issue tracker submissions and 
the rest seperate.

I agree.

I propose "kolab-bugs-dist" in order to stay "compatible" to the well known 
KDE list naming convention.

Bernhard: Can you please create this new list and subscribe the issue tracker 
accordingly?

I would prefer if the is limited to the publishing of the bugs and that 
discussion is either done via the mail or html interface of the bugtracker if 
it is directly related to the bug or on the kolab-devel ml if it is more 
general.

This allows to keep all bug/issue related information in a single place (issue 
tracker)
