Before I go too much further, do you guys want these feature requests in
the *jsource* repo, or should we make a new repo?

An alternative is to have a separate github project specifically for
proposals that may or may not be implemented, while they are under
discussion.

Here's how python does it:

https://github.com/python/peps

At the company I work, we also do something like this... We have a separate
"requests" JIRA board where anybody can submit anything for discussion, and
then a weekly triage meeting where we decide what to do with the
requests... If we decide to implement it, we move it to the "actual work to
do" project... Sometimes this involves quite a bit of rewriting /
clarifying / breaking or joining of tickets / etc.

If we think we might want a separate repo down the line, we should probably
act now.

With a separate repo you could also give a person (like me) doing this
request management stuff access to that repo, for tagging and organizing
tickets, without necessarily giving them write access to the code. (maybe
you can do this anyway with github's admin tools?).

A separate repo would also allow us to give users a single point of
contact, without worrying about which repo (qtide, base9, etc) they should
post it to.
