broachable

Open for discussion

Broachable describes a topic or subject that can be raised or introduced in conversation without causing undue difficulty or offense.

Some matters are too sensitive or awkward to be easily broachable: I wasn't sure the subject of money was broachable with her.

The word implies that bringing something up requires a degree of permission or receptivity from the other party.
