On "dev@" you will find developers (I hope ;-)), but discussing features
is a little bit off topic there.

A few developers are also subscribed to "discuss" (like me) and try to
participate in some discussions if time permits. The problem with this
list sometimes was the large amount of off topic posts, so many
developers left and didn't come back. I can't judge whether this will
change in the near future.
