Such suggestions or feature requests should be added to the bug

He might present some suggestions on the list; it's easy then to
comment.

Not really IMHO: By identifying small tasks that can be handled by
individuals, clashes should rarely happen. And again: an issue in the
tracker can be assigned to a developer, provided the issue has been
registered there. So I really ask interested people to add more
reports, suggestions, feature requests, etc., to the tracker!
