Instead, start a new mail thread with a specific missing feature, something small -- and let's discuss that feature via a mail thread, first. Then, at some point in the discussion, someone will say, let's create an issue around this feature, now that we've discussed it, and someone else will say, hey I think I know how to fix that, let me try and then I'll send a pull request for others to review. This more interactive way of discussing missing features might work better than filing an issue and hoping someone will look at it. If you find this idea useful, we could experiment with one small feature or aspect of usability, e.g., someone starts a thread with a tag [ENHANCEMENT-REQUEST] and explains clearly some small aspect of NetBeans that is simply annoying and shouldn't be hard to fix. Then we discuss that as a community and you'll probably find that once that has been clearly discussed and we all know what we're talking about, that someone will step forward to fix it. Gj
