Not really.
There is a feature to allow other users and/or developers to comment on
bugs & feature request, but this is primarily intended for providing
additional information, or feedback on the current status. For proper
discussions, it lacks the necessary publicity. (When was the last time
you just browsed the bugtracker just to see if there was some
interesting discussion going on in some of the entries?)
As someone else already said, the POV-Ray community is strongest in the
newsgroups.

True, but as you can see threads here have difficulty staying on-topic.

Unless human nature has changed while I wasn't paying attention, all discussions
have difficulty staying on topic. I believe this is why Robert invented Rules
of Order...

Wouldn't it be more productive to try and address the cause of the ambiguity
(ie add Chris' point about grouping similar requests to the bug tracker
instructions) rather than calling someone stupid who is trying to help
improve POV?

You are not showing sufficient timorousness toward the master!

No, it would not be more productive because SharkD's goal is not to help,
but to game the system: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3AGAME>. How
do I conclude his main goal is causing disruption? - He has used the tactic
of malicious compliance after he was prohibited from vandalizing the Wiki.
Next he moved to the bug tracker. As such, his "help" simply is not wanted
because he is not serious in helping the POV-Ray community, but rather to
poison it.

THAT is what I consider to be malicious! WTF, gaming the system?? You
seriously think I have anything to gain by doing this?
And I was specifically directed /to/ the bugtracker, not by my own decision.
It sounds more to me like YOU are gaming the system, using your position
as a leader in the POV community to abuse people around you.

Are these MegaPOV features? I haven't ever used MegaPOV.

I've compiled a list of points made here and in the thread over in
p.general:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Knowledgebase:POV-Ray_Feature_Requests
Is this satisfactory?
