The best point-of-time for such a discussion is immediately after EP is over;
then all aspects of the conference can be discussed while people have the
conference fresh in mind, people may have better opinions on the conference
venue, and if the organizers feel the need to spend energy defending their
decisions, at least it won't distract them from organizing the event.

A mailing list is a good tool for keeping heated arguments, it may have an
entertainment value, but doesn't serve much purpose except that.  Mailing lists
are seldom a good tool for constructive discussions.  When the participants
have good points and good ideas that everyone can agree on ... well, it's
nothing to discuss, so the good ideas doesn't get any bandwidth and are soon
forgotten, while the small details where people disagree tends to steal a lot
of bandwidth.  I think it's a much better idea to summarize "proposals for
improving EP" on a wiki page.
