I am not offended.

Reason I emphasize proper use of communication channels is that I want 
to encourage getting more actively involved in Debian.

If someone joins maintenance of a package and then later move on to work 
on different things, they should not be bothered with issues in that 
package they once helped out with.

Let me repeat: I am *not* personally offended here.  No apology needed.  
Personally I have spent quite some time learning how to manage spam and 
other types of email noise, but would hope that others would need less 
work in that area, would prefer emails like yours not treated as noise.

In short: I think it is most efficient for us all that we use the proper 
communication channels.

Very true, and the reason I recommend filing a bugreport!

Mailinglists are for discussions, not for tracking issues.

If you have an issue you want to discuss, then file the issue and 
discuss it.  That way it stays an issue even if you are alone in wanting 
to discuss it.
