Betas and Bugzilla today. Phabricator should make it easier to provide feedback in a wider range of topics, not only "bugs".
99% of users of Wikimedia projects don't /know/ about these tools. That's the problem, and your response is not reflecting it.
I've seen people on Village Pumps etc. complaining about certain software changes introduced. After I provided links to five [sic!] previous announcements, their reply was basically "I didn't see them! Wrong place, you should have put them $here and $there instead".
What is your proposal to _successfully_ make more people aware of such tools, if that's the problem?
There are also enough (note to myself: [citation needed]) Wikipedia readers who don't know that you can edit an article yourself. Everybody has the personal freedom to not be interested in $stuff. Personally I'm fine with driving a car while having no clue why and how a car works.
