My educated guess is that most of those who are tuned out of gentoo-dev
don't follow this mailing list either. Last time we looked at
subscription numbers gentoo-project had less people than gentoo-dev.
Those who suggested you to post here didn't know our mailing list
policies. Granted it's not always easy to know where to post. Discussing
technical policies belongs to gentoo-dev. Especially in matters like
these that concern the Portage tree.

There's a general policy that one should refrain from changing the logic
for ebuilds marked stable. EAPIs so far haven't introduced features that
would require being urgently but to stable.
