It's not easy for someone to say "There will be such feature for ADP1". JBQ has already made it clear that in his job he doesn't have oversight over the complete 1.1 build, functionality plans, and release dates. These probably limited to certain groups (if they exist at all).
It seems pretty clear by now that the people from Google on this list are the engineers who are answering questions when they can. This isn't a hangout for all Google Android employees, this isn't a list that Google see as a place to answer developers questions on any and all Android topics, and this isn't a place where any kind of vote, protest, or anything similar is going to get noticeable results. If you want to report something to Google then the Market forums seem to be as close as we can get to the best channel to do this.
