Why in the world are we now giving anon users the option to
create user pages?
Also, I was wondering where such a decision was made. The main wikipedia mailing-list? The decision process should be more clear and more democratic.

Most policy decisions should be made on wikipedia-l. This should be more clear, sure. But it's pretty 'democratic' already, and doing it on the wiki itself might not help.

The new Talk code was requested both on Village Pump and on the mailing list repeatedly. The user page stuff was simply a side effect of that. However, if you want to keep up with the latest changes and possibly have some influence, check out the code and start hacking.
