What is needed is not just any feedback, but well-thought out and articulate comments, along with the rationale for these requests. It also has the advantage as opposed to the mailing list of being less of a moving target, so that these things can be found easily. If some think that getting a wiki account serves as a "barrier", I would suggest that more realistically it is a minor test (since wiki accounts are quite easily obtained) of the users' desire to truly help Scribus and not just snipe from the sidelines.
