Mailing lists? Really?

I've been using subversion in a lighthearted way for a couple of years,
recommending it to clients, sending a little money to Tigris now and
then. It works very well for most of what I need it for. But I have
one big problem that I can't resolve.

It's this: the mailing list paradigm drives me insane.

I want to search for solutions, complain about my favorite missing
features, and reply to other people's problems when I've already solved
them. But I can't seem to do that without subscribing to the mailing
list. And my inbox is entirely full enough, thank you.

There are probably thousands of competent, helpful people like me who
would love to participate, but won't subscribe to yet another list. You
aren't hearing from them... because they're not subscribed. Please
change over to a threaded forum, so I can participate without resorting
to email.

Is this something Tigris can change? Is it worth opening a new issue
report about it? Everything I've found in the system is two years old
or more.

Thanks!
Dylan
