This is a good idea, along with building up resources describing goals.

Communication will need to be both ways - outward from developers and
people heavily involved in gnome, and back inwards from the outside.

It's usually more important to give a clear and correct message (and to
be seen to do so) than to quick to respond. If speed is important, a
response on a blog (say) saying, "we are aware of these comments and
will respond in more detail later" can be enough at times.
