provide a place for questions about stack overflow declined
Quite a few questions about SO get asked on SO itself, only to get the response 'belongs on uservoice'.
But uservoice is a place for "Found a bug? Want to make a feature request?" and the system does not lend itself to having questions asked.
So where should people ask these questions? I think you need to have a place on SO or clarify the policy of where this meta-discussion should go.

IMO, the biggest shortcoming of SO is the lack of any place for 'out of band' meta-discussions. Something akin to Wikipedia's talk pages would keep SO related questions out of the main in-band Q&A and obviate the need for a separate site like uservoice for feature requests and bug reports.
