As you know, usability is an iterative process. GNOME's not perfect. And 
user feedback is an important data point (not the only one, of course) 
in deciding what is good and not good about the software.

Perhaps the marketing team can be a bridge between the outside world 
that doesn't use mailing lists and bugzilla to developers who do. Of 
course, we will need to be tactful, polite, and not too insistent that 
we're right. But we can affect real change by becoming a quality 
communication channel.

Cheers,
Dave.
