I think the best thing that happened along these lines is the "admin.council"
group. The "council" really has the 'old-timers' feel to it. Issues dealing
with LUGNET users are better to be decided by more experienced members of the
community.

The current admin group is okay for this, in some way it needs to be more
clear that this group is meant for everyone. I would propose a group:
admin.ideas
An Idea group seems more open for suggestions how LUGNET can be experienced
than an admin.general group.

So a idea group invites people to help shaping LUGNET just by it's name.
