Hi Kaj,
My experience (mostly from Cayenne) is that it depends on how you are
feeling about a particular issue. If something is clearly broken (an
exception in the log or smth.), bug report is the best bet. This will
reduce the noise on the list, etc. But there are always things that are
not clear case...like "did I specify the right fileset in the
build.xml?", etc...), something that requires further discussion. This
is when a post the the list is most appropriate. Bug trackers are not
good for a many-to-many discussion.
So in short - it is up to you :-)
On a side note, SourceForge trackers are so primitive. I just can't
stand them :-( ... To address that I will be deploying a very decent
commercial issue tracker on ObjectStyle.org soon :

They have a free license for OpenSource projects. Very nice policy!
