You didn't reference a tracker item. This means that the tracker isn't 
always used and that it isn't very effective.

It isn't referenced on the home page. A lot of people who know that such 
tracker exists on Sourrceforge won't use it because some SF projects 
doesn't use the tracker. If the tracker is actively used (and from SF 
page it seems so), it should be referenced in participation/contribution 
sections along with mail lists. A lot of people will prefer anonymous 
web form over the need to subscribe to a moderated mail list in order to 
report a bug or post a suggestion.
