opensuse-factory mailing list with special tag in subject seems the best solution to me. Changes are happening in Factory, so it also makes sense.
I think announce should be about announcements not the discussion.
And not everyone wishes to be on a mailing list. Many in the Forums choose not to be on mailing lists. There's over 30K users there. That's significant.
And many developers choose not to be on forums, stalemate!
So perhaps RFC for discussion, then later when there's a plan and something installable to test (with the latest distro release preferably), an RFT "Request for Testing" referencing the technical discussion, and over-view of benefits and any caveats. That way, it would be simple for anyone in Factory list, to get URL of RFT thread, and post on behalf of developers in forum to encourage more community participation. The developer benefits from consulting and participation without high overhead, or needing to write special papers for publication on the website. It's not natural to start out deciding to join a mailing list, one joins because some event or discussion has been of interest, and it seems more useful. I noticed recently the forums, have now finally over-taken the mail lists in terms of registered users, so there is a "resource" of talent that has potential to help improve future releases.
