   More and more (my impression), things, even major
   things, are getting changed through just bug reports.
   Dunno whether that's intentionally to avoid wider
   discussion, but it has that effect.

I share that impression as well, it does seems that the modus operandi
is to change first, discuss later.  Which causes friction between all
parties -- it is not all that much to ask that changes to existing
behaviour is done by discussion first, in a small group to feel what
the reprecautions might be.
