The recommended way to deal with complex discussions like this in the Ubuntu world is to write up a "blueprint" (aks "spec") for the issue. It is much easier to get the necessary folks from different teams together and easier to collaborate on the wiki than in a bug tracker.
This is a common and difficult issue, so there may be others. But I'd suggest that folks move this discussion to a blueprint so we can be more effective.

For example, at UDS in Boston in October 2007, there was a discussion on this issue. The launchpad blueprint is at: /blueprints. edge.launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +spec/easy- file-sharing

The wiki page for design and feedback is at /wiki.ubuntu. com/EasyFileSha ring
