That is definitely not what I intended to do, what I'm requesting is not that 
people stop talking.
The point is that when two groups have a difference of opinion on the outcome 
of a specific suggested event (one or two places for tasks) then the two groups 
at one point have to look outside their current in-the-head expertise.

My suggestion to consult an expert (or study papers written by one) was based 
on that.

That point still stands; ask a community manager what are the main points for 
growing a community.
Barrier to entry is a huge one on the short-list. The problem of having to get 
rights to edit the bugtracker where ideas are stored is a big part of that.

For example one member of our community wrote a couple of weeks ago that he 
almost didn't edit userbase because it required him to register there.  If 
thats a barrier to entry, then what does bugzilla accounts and write rights 
put up?
