What are the steps between community idea and community proposal?
Inspired from this post [asking what steps there are between proposal and launching a community](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/276971), I would like to know what steps there are between an idea and a proposal.

Right now, we have at least one community idea with a relatively high upvote count: [Factual History](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/275968) (even higher than Cooking and [this community has already been launched](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/74947)).

Unfortunately, nothing has happened there since over a month. Maybe the proposer didn't know how to proceed or how to gauge when the time is right to go from idea to proposal, or in this regard how this is done.

* When is an idea ready to be a proposal?
* What are possible values (upvote count, Wilson score, total votes, etc.) to determine an idea is ready?
* How to gauge interested users? (Are votes even comparable to users interested in participating? May we in need of an additional button or metric to show that one's interested in participating?)
* How to proceed? Swap the tag from idea to proposal? Open up a new proposal?
