If you fix all bugs, I will stop emailing.

Wasn't it a Paul Eggert who introduced the Idaho bug
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2012-May/017897.html
?

And now a Paul Eggert doesn't like bugs being reported by Tobias Conradi?

Counterproductive to what?

Counterproductive to fixing bugs?

http://www.iana.org/time-zones has the text:
------------------
Mailing Lists
...
Submissions/Discussions
A higher volume discussion list used for discussing proposals for
updates to the Database. Contributions to this list may be emailed to
tz at iana.org.
-----------------

That's exactly what I do. If that's not wanted, the page text is
wrong. But if one thinks the page text is defining what is wanted,
then Paul Eggert may be wrong.

At which end is the bug, Paul Eggert or IANA?

The page also has the text:
TZ Coordinator

The IESG-designated TZ Coordinator is Paul Eggert.

Would that be you? If so, then here is a part of your role description:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6557
TZ Coordinator: The person or people who maintain and manage release
of the TZ Database.

I don't see any release at ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/ since
2012-04-13 "The IESG has approved Paul Eggert (eggert at cs.ucla.edu)
as the new Time Zone coordinator." (Source:
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2012-May/017853.html )

You should consider taking a step backwards
and refraining from sending email to the tz list
for a while, as this sort of behavior is
counterproductive.
