I have worked on a few GPL applications and I can say that feedback and suggestions are great. Even if your suggestion does not make it into the project, it still shapes the direction of the software.
The best places to talk about software or make suggestions are on the mailing lists, bug tracking systems. Eugenia is always in the GNOME forums and is constantly making suggestions. She doesn't just post her opinions here - and people listen to her. People listen to eveyone.
