The only real benefit in having them in sourceforge is that when someone 
else using the published version comes to sourceforge to report the typo 
they can (possibly, if they look, which I doubt they would) notice that it 
has already been reported.  Moreover, when they do submit it, it can (I 
assume?) be marked as a duplicate of an existing bug.

But I agree, that is good in theory, in practice fixing non-controversial 
things posted here seems reasonable since the archives of this list are public.
