No. The general philosophy so far has been that the mailing list serves the same purpose, and that if messages go by without comment on the list, it's probably because they weren't that interesting to people (i.e., in a bug tracker, they would have also sat untouched).

That being said, the mailing list is free-form, which can make it harder to search and analyze. Something that organizes the information like a bug tracker could be useful, but only if somebody (or somebodies) is dedicated to keeping the information up to date and free of cruft.
