Mostly we do the wrong thing, which is commit directly to trunk or,
slightly less wrong, commit an mcz to the Inbox (MCHttpRepository

So _I_ favour a bug report to Mantis
(http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7740 right?), and if it's small,
just commit it to trunk and record that in the tracker. (I find it
really, really useful to see the audit trail in Mantis. It might be
seriously ugly, but it beats an inbox every day.)

The Inbox is meant for changes that need review—either contributions from developers without direct access to the trunk, or from core developers that would like a second set of eyes on the code before it goes into trunk. So, sure, a Mantis entry is great, but core developers putting stuff in the Inbox ought to be fairly rare. The idea is to keep it easy to contribute, with minimal ceremony.
