Simple/light voting system for that purpose integrated with "proposal documents" is also in my roadmap (something like https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx1y.html but with users accounts/simple comments/voting system). Anyway I don't have any timeline for that. Maybe I'll do it sooner than any compiler change. -- Best regards, Maciej Izak
