Aklapper added a comment. Had drafted some comments for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78482, now pasting them here:
I'd be willing to give this a try if wanted by some communities as it's an idea to improve the communication/escalation of requests popular in certain communities towards developers and product mgmt/maintainers. I'd also be very interested in existing approaches I'm not aware of (Community Engagement?), this might not be engineering territory only but also editor and reader territory). I'd want clear scope definitions for such tags. "happens on Wikisource" is not clear enough. Tagging every ticket in the Extension-FooBar project with a "Wikisource" tag just because Extension-FooBar is installed on Wikisource will only bring noise. We'll face the usual problems of "measuring popularity" here, something that IMO already failed in Bugzilla with its busted "voting" functionality. Will "5 communities have this on their radar" suddenly influence decisions? I do not think so, hence it should be clearly communicated that if you want something badly you need to argument why instead of only adding a project to a task. The difference in the UI to tokens or Bugzilla's voting would be that these "expressions of interest" won't be "anonymous" (requiring a click to see the voters or mouse-over to see token creators) but showing names of communities. That also allow interpretations/judgement (size of community? Organization level? Age?). Don't know if that's good or bad and not asking that, just pointing it out. Naming scheme: Something like "wiktionary-fr" (must be a clear scheme, "site-lang") with its own "community interest" project color and icon?
