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.
