Motivation

I have the feeling (obviously biased ;) that some feature requests get forgotten over time. I absolutely do not claim that it is anyone's fault but that they naturally become less visible over time because they are less active (it's a guess).

Based on this assumption, the question is: how to improve/maintain the visibility of feature-request posts over time?

(Of course we can also consider that a non-active request means that nobody wants it... But is the feature-request enough visible to be active?)

Proposal

A "feature request status page" could be created on meta (maybe more like an article than a question: i.e. no possible answer) which list all feature-requests and give some info about them, for e.g.:

• Status: pending, implemented, implemented (partially), rejected.
• Vote counts (with the possibility of voting directly on this page EDIT after follow-up comment it seems better to avoid voting on the status page in order to encourage user to see/participate in the entire discussion before voting).
• Link to the "announcement post" if implemented or the GitHub issue if pending (if relevant).

Here an example of what could be a feature-request list:
