Tracker bites.  For small projects like Allegro, email is far better.  Using trackers exclusively will only reduce the number of people participating.

Actually, even if it's not exclusive it's not so good -- people from "outside" may file a bug/patch with the tracker, only to get no reply at all.  This has happened before.  Since I never checked the tracker -- too much trouble -- I only found out about some bugs/patches once Eric told me of them.  By then, the original poster may have lost interest or forgot or thought the project was dead, and then *they* don't reply.
