It's the only place that is open enough to discuss things like this.

Otherwise you end up with a couple people making the decision in some bar
somewhere, half bombed out of their head by some stale beer.

And no, there is no way to *force* them to do anything.  Regardless of
whether it's an open mailing list, or a semi-open IRC, or a private meeting
in a bar.

Why should you *have* to rename yours the way you want it?  Shouldn't it
already be in a decent form to begin with?

Sounds you just prefer to be told what to end up with.  To sit back and wait
until it's over with and then complain that they didn't do it that made
sense.

Like Monte Walsh said: "You aint got no idea how little I care."
