So I'm assuming that what you're wanting here is more features or boards that are orientated more towards non-developers right?
Just making sure I get everything right before I add it to the suggestion list.

My interpretation of this suggestion (which I'd like to second, if it lines up with Sun-Studios') is that they believe there should be a dedicated area not just for players to talk to players, but for players to post with the understanding that devs hang out here and they might be able to open a dialog with the creators of their favorite games.
Overall I really love that this community is more oriented toward devs, largely because itch makes it so easy for ANYONE to be a dev. If a player stumbles into here, I would hope that they'd find a place to engage (possibly in this proposed devs/players board) and it would spark their curiosity about other boards, eventually encouraging them to just make a game themselves. :D

Itch.io is a store front for players to purchase games, I think the forums should be a place for these players to engage each other as well as us developers. So perhaps there could be a forums like 'Games on Itch.io' where players can talk to other players and create threads about games they are playing /purchased from Itch.
It seems like we have a solid community here on Itch which is fantastic. But ultimately we develop games for players and itch serves games to players. The forum should focus on nurturing a community of players - certainly this is important for the growth of itch.
