https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/10914 <-- there's your chance to contribute opinions on a proposed solution
And if you want to stay up-to-date on current events in the future, put this URL in your bookmarks for easy viewing of the latest changes and discussions:

No account required, although you will need one if you wish to contribute your opinions there, which by the way is a much better place to (politely and concisely) voice your concerns. The forum is rarely (basically never) used for development discussion and cannot be relied on for your thoughts being heard or (more importantly) remembered for future discussions and decisions
If you are looking for more intimate discussion, as has been pointed out already, most of "the devs" hangout here:
https://discord.gg/openttd
Or on the
IRC channel, both of which are linked together so you can see discussions on both platforms at once for extra convenience
The options for communication are there and are freely available to anyone. If you choose not to use these avenues to keep up with changes or to express your opinions on them then you cannot blame anyone for not knowing your feelings on these things. Hopefully this will improve a bit with the survey feature in future versions, but even then it is still best to make your voice heard directly and in the appropriate locations in order to help everyone in the long term
