No. As long as every trac update/mailing list post contain something useful
(backtraces, answers to questions, new info about the issue etc.) it is OK.
But post like "When will be this fixed?", "You are losers since this bug
hasn't been fixed" and just pointless bumps or priority changes will raise
blood pressure.
