Mark it as outdated.

It is certainly an interest and it helps,
but we need more development power to maintain it.

Good idea.
I suggest a different name as request for comments in the internet
often already are standards. We could call it "request for discussion"
or GIPs (grass improvement proposals).

but it does not quite fit our situation. We don't have a BDFL
and need to have more than just "Enhancements".)
