That makes a lot of sense, although I'm not sure you need to get consensus on which properties should be introduced: if the pm teams all agree a flag is needed, it should be in, imo. Names would be better to throw out for wider consensus, due to the i18n and the fact that pm users will need to type them in.. > I don't know what the > best method(s) to carry out a vote like this would be.

You could add a "Some other name which I will suggest in a post" option. "No this flag is a bad idea" should come from the dev ml imo, with the reasons explained and discussed fully.
