Process question
Is the intent of the [DISCUSS] email prefix specifically to raise a
topic that will required a voting decision?
I'm having trouble imagining what email wouldn't be sent with some form
of prefix: [DISCUSS], [VOTE], [ANNOUNCE]

Yes.

You only need [DISCUSS] when you expect to later need a [VOTE]. If you're sending a mail like "Hey guys, I'm going to work on fixing bug X next" that doesn't need a [DISCUSS]. Mails like "I think we should release" need a [DISCUSS].

Hey Kevin,
Yeah it's generally for topics that raise an eventual VOTE, you got it.
Otherwise, just normal subject. [DISCUSS] is like, "hey look here",
"before we [VOTE] :)"
