We have a history of making it difficult for people to contribute to GIMP in any way. I would hesitate to make it even harder. Your suggestion boils down to making initial communication more complicated while, indeed, more structured. It also seems to suggest some sort of pre-moderation which puts a heavier burden on those of us involved with moderation. So mailing lists are a tool that keeps communication open enough and takes just about the right amount of time to keep our sanity at the cost of rare outbursts like this one. Having said all that, I would still appreciate examples of what you consider superior communication channels.
