I don't think anything is wrong with the list, and I assume neither does 
Justin. 

But occasionally the bug submit form is misused for troubleshooting 
performance problems "Bug #42: Query is too slow" 

I could imagine that having a separate form to report performance problems 
and asking for different pieces of information which then sends that to this 
list (instead of bugs) isn't a bad idea. 

However I am not sure that the frequency of the bug-list misuse warrants that.
