One feature that I would like to see on such a dashboard is the ability to upload sample source code or text along with a flag as to whether IBM should treat it as public or private.

Perhaps you could piggyback on the IBM "ideas" portal structure for implementation of such a "dashboard". Please request all of the z/OS development teams (both systems and applications) to consider this suggestion for an externalized documentation portal. The "ideas" portal is far from perfect, but it is at least an accessible portal for the exchange of information between ordinary users (those NOT privileged to have access to the IBM Support portal) and the development teams inside of IBM. Communication is critical. If we can help make the published documentation easier/clearer/more helpful for future readers that's a good use of our time, but we need feedback from IBM as incentive to keep on doing it. Is anybody listening? Are we having any impact at all? Today there just isn't any way to know, and there really ought to be one (and please NOT in (anti-)"social" media).

According to the IBM Docs team, the "site feedback" is intended ONLY for communicating problems about the site (i.e., the IBM Docs infrastructure) not for communicating information to/for the manual owners. After a recent change in the IBM Docs infrastructure (it was different prior to that change), the only mechanism for submitting information to/for the manual owners through the IBM Docs site itself is by the thumbs up / thumbs down icon through which (after selecting "up" or "down") you can leave a limited-length unformatted comment and you should not expect any feedback or response to such a submission. z/OS is looking at what approach it can make available to its customers to supplement that mechanism.
