Hi Ari;

I'm not sure there is a strict policy, but what I do is this; when I
think I've found a bug, I try to fix it first, or at least determine
that something is broken. I check bugzilla, then post to the list if
nothing is there, and if there is some activity on the list that
confirms that the probelm is a bug I'll report it to bugzilla.

It has happened occasionally that a workaround to a problem appears on
the list or in bugzilla, and then I'll post to workaround to the other
place, to tie the two together. In a way, bugzilla is a kind of
knowledge base.

I'm assuming the developers are monitoring bugzilla more closely than
they are the list, but I don't want to fill bugzilla with redundant or
useless information, so I think posting to the appropriate list before
reporting to bugzilla is important.
