Where should feature requests for Drupal.org be submitted?
I want to suggest that the project module list has another filter that allows people to filter out project modules that are merely in a development or alpha or beta stage for a particular release, e.g. version 8. There are currently 1,312 modules for 8.x, but a lot of them are only dev or alpha or beta, so that number is really misleading. For my 8.x site, I just want to know what modules have at least a release candidate or production release. Thanks to the version naming conventions, the filter shouldn't be too hard to implement, right? :)
I looked for a place to submit this idea but I could not find one.
I asked on IRC #drupal-support about a place and got no response. I found and reviewed an issue about an ideation tool ("[META] Drupal.org ideation tool") and I reviewed issues linked to it but I did not see any final outcome. (Maybe I just missed it.) That issue mentioned about 15 issue queues but I haven't seen any such number. (Maybe they've been consolidated in the past two years.)
I did find the "Issues for Drupal.org infrastructure", but that group appears to be nominally and descriptively just for infrastructure concerns and so my high-level functionality idea doesn't seem appropriate for that issues list.
My current idea is kind of a follow up to my idea eight years ago about including download and use statistics, which has been a great addition to the project module list, if I do say so myself. :)

sounds good
@dddave, thanks! That looks good to me unless anybody else has any other suggestions.
Sorry to revive old thread
Sorry to revive an old thread, but am desperately searching groups.drupal.org for recent activity and discussion about... Groups!
The homepage of Groups features mostly discussions from 2016 and older. Only one from 2017 and one from 2018. Am I missing something, or is this entire place mostly dead?
I've visited more than a dozen different groups only to find very few of them have any recent discussions. Most from years ago. "Hot content" on the sidebar features stuff from 49 weeks, 5 days ago and 1 year, 16 weeks ago!
Where is everybody? Where is the feedback group (is this it)?? Where should newbies be getting their start in terms of asking questions, getting help? This whole Groups experience is very difficult to navigate and a little frustrating.
Thanks for help or assistance you may be able to provide.

gdo status
We're still active. I have noticed a lower amount of gdo content, but plenty of people are active in issue queues.
"Hot content this week" is accurate. However, all those "hot topics" recently received tons of spam comments. That'll be resolved when spam is cleaned up.
Ok....
Okay, thanks for the reply. I guess I was expecting more discussion in the groups themselves, not just surrounding specific issues. The site just makes it feel like there's not much going on in each group (at least the ones I visited).
It's super hard for newcomers to get their bearings. Is there a workgroup or something I can join that could work on helping with that?
Not sure I understand the "hot content" feature. For instance, why is this considered "hot content"?
