I believe you're referring to:

https://list.orgmode.org/87y2qlgq33.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/

He had some reasonable questions about the design, but said he 
only uses very basic capture templates, and could not comment 
beyond that on the design. The hope was that people who use more 
of org-capture's features would chime in. That didn't happen.

Of course doct's features could be added to org-capture in a 
piecemeal fashion, but I'm not too keen on contributing anything 
non-trivial to Org these days. Too much back and forth coupled 
with discussion that can stall due to lack of interest.
