Also very true.
The problem is that most users don't like or want to give away his/her
identity thus they prefer to stay anonymous on the forum. If they are
forced then I'm afraid they won't report problems.
A two way forum, mailing list gateway would be nice but SF can't do it.
Probably the missing list->forum way could be scripted but who has the
time for it ... But perhaps somebody already did it for other projects?
I wouldn't be completely surprised :)
