We can’t use GH issues yet, for the moment we are restricted to JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB (sorry :)
That's fine, too.
What we can do is create a separate mailing list for you, if you feel better not discussing this on dev@, but you are more than welcome to discuss things here.
As long as it does not bother the mailing list (like, too much traffic or whatever) dev@ is just fine.
Kind regards Bastian
