The concept is pretty simple: Players see a feature or a development focus that they think the devs should work on next, they click that suggested link, and they press the “Upvote” button. Features have a variety of tags associated with them, including “pinned” features that are in active development, “planned” features that are already in a roadmap and planned to be released into the future, and an “under consideration” pin for features that may or may not be implemented depending on popularity.
