I kind of like the idea that bugs go to the mailing list first, at least while the project is small enough for that to be reasonable.
Still, something that we don't do very well is showing progress that has been made and this could help a lot with that.
I think that the mailing list is OK for simple bugs that can be fixed quickly. For things that involve a nontrivial amount of coding or reverse-engineering, it could be useful to have a bug tracker or even a wiki page where users and developers would have an overview of the status and could post results of their tests. I guess it could be as simple as someone creating a page on wiki.openstreetmap.org and posting the link here. For example, the routing test map would naturally belong to a new wiki page on broken routing restrictions on newer Garmin software and firmware. Marko
