There was a bugtracker at some point, but it was not so useful.

To me that is the main factor here, no much point in such an
infrastructure with such a small project.
I work on some small (one person) and not so small open source projects
that also have mailing lists. I like bug trackers because then I have a
fairly easy way to find a bug instead of having to fish through tons of
email with possibly incorrect subject lines that might be spread out
over many threads to find the relevant discussion. But this also
requires discipline to discuss the bugs on the tracker instead of the
mailing list. And sometimes the mailing list is easier for bug
discussion than a bug tracker. Hopefully someone will update the bug
with links to the mailing list or summarizes the mailing list. But that
means extra work.
I also don't have any qualms about closing bugs as wontfix or not-a-bug,
as long as I explain (briefly) why.
But each project needs to do whatever works best for them....
