For better or for worse, the design team don't use this list any more; they do most of their work on the 
Design wiki (https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/) and on #gnome-design on IRC, where you will find plenty of 
work-in-progress designs and their rationale on which you can comment. Allan and Jon also post design updates 
on their blogs (<http://afaikblog.wordpress.com>, <https://blogs.gnome.org/mccann/>) which are also open for 
comments.

In an ideal world there would perhaps be a single place where all the design work they do could be perused 
and discussed, but until then I'd certainly encourage anyone with a strong interest in the design and 
usability of GNOME to seek out and participate in those channels.
