I have a feeling that this might be a can of worms, but hopefully not.
We have a feature request sub-forum, but many of the requests are better suited as an add-on. Especially as Kodi becomes more modularized. At the same time, I would want to avoid something that just gets generic video-related requests, like "make this site an add-on plz".
The idea came up since I have a request myself that I would like to make to our community of add-on developers, regarding keymaps. However, there doesn't seem to be a good place to make such a request. Such requests shouldn't bother developers who are not interested, so it shouldn't be in the normal add-on dev forums. It's not something that should be in core, so it shouldn't be in the normal feature request area.
If we can avoid the video/content add-on request "spam" (or minimize it), and have it focus on functions, then it might be useful to have a dedicated add-on feature sub-forum. Maybe have it as a child forum inside of the normal feature request forum. That way there is some organization for "core" requests away from things that can and should be done with add-ons.
Maybe?
