Discussions take place on the bitcoin-dev mailing list: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
With regard to the comments, note there is no such thing as a "segregated layer". Segwit is simply an improvement to Bitcoin's layer 1 (the blockchain). @sipa I assume NACK?

As for the comment itself, I understand the desire to make the address reflect the type of output created, but I don't think it is very important (the sender typically shouldn't care what address type the receiver uses, as long as their software supports it), and certainly less worthwhile to encode in a human-recognizable manner than the application or chain/currency type. The address type proposed has a number of unused values available (15 through 31) in the header byte which can be used for non-segwit purposes (or extensions to segwit) later.
But NACK, this is not the place to put that discussion.
