And at certain points in the development phase  Blocker and Target 
trackers for a release are created as a tool for Core developers.

I'm not arguing that bugzilla entries aren't a good idea. You should
file your enhancements against the bugzilla component that makes sense
to let the current developers and maintainers know about it. But the
bugzilla interface is not necessarily the best way to communicate
plans and feature requests to potential contributors who might be
willing to dig in and work on an item.  I find this resistence to
exploring alternative avenues of communication... amusing...
considering the fact that this mailinglist is a hallmark of
duplication.
