So what happens if someone suggests an idea but changes his/her mind later and wants to implement it after all?

Perhaps it would be better to just ask people for ideas that they are willing to share -- without any implication/suggestion as to whether they plan to implement it?

That would make the guy in question an idiot.

Why? Discussion is supposed to change one's mind about its subject.

I mean the people who used the suggestion would be upset because it seems that the person suggesting it said he would not pursue it.

Isn't the point that almost everything is in the execution?

[yters → amichail]

Valid point.
