The Boost "What to do about Boost bugs" page says to submit "a bug report to
either boost-users list, boost mailing list, or our bug tracking facility at
SourceForge" and that "either of the mailing lists is a preferred way". Am I
correct that this list is the boost-users list? I am not sure whether my
suggestion qualifies as a bug, but the Boost page about suggestions has
similar instructions.

Results? Am I expecting results? No, I tried to (or should have?) make it
clear in my message that I posted the message to help others. I tried to
make it clear that I already know the answer; I was posting an answer.

If a person must use a time-consuming procedure to make a simple suggestion,
then it is not likely they will. If this applies to bugs also, then the
software is more likely to remain buggy.
