There would need to be ground rules, of course, that keep the tenor of the discussion civil and not personal. But I think a once-a-year thread would encourage the posting of more general suggestions rather than complaints about specific moderator actions. It would also limit the burden on moderators of having to sift through a thread. Perhaps, if desired, sometime following such exercise, the moderators could post a message providing their own feedback on some (not necessarily all) of the suggestions offered.
