Bug reports go to the mailing list first in case they are really misunderstandings, which is in fact the case much of the time. Having absolutely everything go to the bug tracker would simply clutter the tracker and make it useless.
I disagree. The FAQ in 2.0 (subversion trunk) says bugs should go to tracker, and mailing list in urgent cases (with reference to bug # in tracker). Bugs should never go only to the mailing list, as they can get easily get lost. Of course, a clarification or a question is not something that should go in the tracker, but anything that has a patch attached pretty much ought to go in the tracker.
