There should be a mailing list. Any open source project must have one, even if the issue tracker is supposed to take care of most of the day-to-day working exchange. You should ask the project owners if there's one already, and if there isn't, set one up, for example, using google groups. The introductory pages should also link to the mailing list.

I started working on some bugs, and the lack of a mailing list makes things a bit complicated.

I'll add it to the wiki if it gets used; it might be better if the project owners created one instead.

Could you change the settings to make it more open by default? You can always change it back if you hit problems.

You're right - changed.

Indeed, it'll be useful only if people in the know join it. I believe the archives should be public, and probably joining should be automatic, but the first post moderated.
