Having written open source software myself, and being a subscriber to mailing lists, etc, there is a realization that the number one thing missing from smaller open source projects is feedback from users.

I think you might get more comments if you set up a mailing list rather than just waiting to receive mails direct to you.
It is my experience that the reverse is true. On my main project, I probably get 4 direct emails for every one email to the public mailing list (not counting spam or follow-up messages). This may vary from project to project though.
As an aside, I enjoy recieving email from users - even when negative. In practise, most critisms are highly constructive.
