It is unquestionably correct that roadmaps and planning should be made
available for review and discussion. But the assertion that this should
be done via the commitfest is not. The commitfest app has never been for
anything other than code, that I am aware of, and I am quite sure you
will find fierce resistance to any notion that design discussions should
take place anywhere but on this mailing list.
