Most, if not all, maintainers ask that you do this. This keeps the discussion public and for the benefit of all. I know that Corinna subscribes to this philosophy as well, which is the reason your attempt at personal email failed. There is no reason to send multiple bug reports to the list. All list email is archived so nothing sent here is lost. Multiple copies of the same report does not garner the poster added sympathy or attention. Sometimes reporting a bug multiple times actually works to the posters detriment since it implies some amount of impatience and lack of understanding of how free software works. I'm not saying that this describes your case. I'm just pointing out the possible trap that you could find yourself in with this kind of approach to problem reports.
