Comment (by Clorith):

 If we're looking at tweaking it, perhaps taking a second look at pushing
 people towards GitHub as well?

 GitHub is fine if you're a developer, but if you are an end user, which is
 a large part of our target audience with the callout, it's an unknown
 place with more "techy" users for the most part.

 When wanting to share an enhancement on GitHub, you need to go to Issues >
 New Issue (I didn't have an issue, I had an idea). You are then greeted by
 a two-page scroll of pre-filled text in, many of the parts would make no
 sense to a non-developer.

 When you read the description on GitHub, it's pointed out that the easiest
 way to give feedback is in the #core-editor slack channel (we're now
 sending them back again, to a place without any real moderation I might
 add), and requiring them to make a .org account in the first place.

 Perhaps it's more sensible to direct them to the Gutenberg plugin forums?
 They would still need a .org account, but it's one step instead of 3. It's
 also a plain text form which many users are familiar with, and it has
 moderation tools (after all, experience shows that passions run hot in
 times of change).
