I think that's the way all sourceforge lists are configured.

That's essentially this list but it's not so active whilst the team are 
busy on a University project. Similarly the irc channel.

Raise them as RFEs at least then as and when the team or other 
developers get a chance to look at them, they have the ideas there to 
go ahead.

It is mildly frustrating at times though when communication slows. 
Perhaps the team could throw us a bone to let us know in what direction 
we're going, then we can offer some help with development and ensure 
that the sites we're developing now aren't going to turn into 
cul-de-sacs.
