Hi Tim and Ian, thank you for mail,
I would like to note that for both extensions I am working on I already received a support from community, both were announced and one was even mentioned in Sign Post, the discussion on Proposals board was closed for both of them in favor of installation to english wiki. So I don't think there is a need to notifiy community again.

I have been hearing a lot of resentment from community members about the features team deploying extensions without properly consulting the community, let alone building consensus. My recommendation is that if you want to deploy an extension which is likely to be even slightly controversial, you should seek community consensus, regardless of who you work for. Running a well-publicised straw poll is a useful and rewarding experience. You'll get a huge amount of design input.
