For the record, those are not my words, rather a quote from the 
"charter" for this forum on http://www.python.org/community/lists/.  I 
think the point of the quoted words is not to discourage discussion here 
but rather a reminder about the role of the issue tracker.  As you say, 
don't expect anybody to do anything about it without an issue on the 
tracker.
