The page seem to be around since June but the Feature has not been 
proposed as a Feature for the cycle. Please follow the items listed at 
[1] to do so. As with the Feature from Walter, please make sure you 
change the category so it does appear on my list, and don't forget to 
send the email with the appropriate header.

Yes, that would be good indeed. As well I would like to decide us 
earlier in the cycle about Features. Not start to discuss Features when 
Feature freeze is one day away. I think for 0.92 we should do a deadline 
for proposing new Features. It helps to start the discussion early, get 
the design team involved and we might even have chances to do tests in 
deployments iterate over different designs etc.
