I've often had a hard time searching for results in email archives 
because the datum used for indexing changes.  Different people change 
the subject line etc.  You can't index by date a fair bit of the time 
because there will be lapses in the discussion.

One of the better things about using a bugzilla [e.g.] is that it 
becomes a community responsibility, not a single person or small group. 
Anyone can now update the 'TODO' list.
