Potentially to wrap this discussion up a bit -- I can see no harm that could 
possible come from creating a forum for such things.  In the best case, with 
a couple of dedicated "forum wranglers" some of the ideas could eventually be 
presented in a useful fashion in other places.  In the worst case, it's just 
not read.  (Which is as you mentioned only detrimental in places where 
something has the appearance of some tangible function within the project and 
doesn't fulfill that.)
