Since developers are either sponsored, or enthusiastich individuals, 
they always have their programs and areas of interest.
Therefore the big step forward is the creation of a community where 
contributing is easy and fast and where all feel welcome.
If this always leads to developments as 'a majority' (...) would like, 
is not sure.
I think this question is strongly related to the discussion about 
defining "Membership" within TDF. See
http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/msg01720.html

This (long..) thread is to be continued (based on it there will be a 
more specific proposal).

Indeed there is the danger of discussions not related to issues that are 
worked on by developers or planned ..
On the other hand, more general discussions will help to raise awareness 
on (new) wishes, ideas etc.

As for now, we do not yet have a list where for example usability issues 
are discussed. And 'feature requests' will in general fit in that area. 
But then (and see the UX archives for OpenOffice.org how that looks 
like) there will be a mixture of issues that are (nearly) worked on, and 
issues that are just discussions (for the moment).

Besides this, it is possible to step in on the developer list on 
specific issues that are worked on. But that is different from a new 
feature request, obviously.

> Thanks so far to go in that direction and good luck for LibreOffice

Thanks for your interest and support. Hope to see more from you!
