Meta: where do feature requests go?

[bmcdonnell-fb]

@brad.king said that feature requests can be posted here for discussion, and/or as an issue on the tracker.

OTOH, @ben.boeckel said:

@ben.boeckel

Feature requests go to the issue tracker.

Can someone clarify?

Will my feature request get due consideration here? And/or should I post an issue?

Thanks.

For discussing an idea, here in the forum will get more eyeballs and a wider cross-section of users and contributors. It’s a good place to flesh out an idea and gauge how the community feels about it. Once you have a fairly clear picture of the feature you want to request and can describe it concisely, that’s a good time to open a new issue in the issue tracker with your proposal.
