Note existing work on visibility of design efforts
Also note that we want to explicitly meet both * community members (who may not want and perhaps should not visit issue tracker for the "source" of truth at a larger scale) * project members (for whom the issue tracker may also be too fine-grained, in some cases)

There are a number of possible sources for this information today, such as
194+
feature gate labels and tracking implementation history in tracking issues. Most
195+
of these have not been formally introduced to all teams nor have they been
196+
described in any particular nature; this experimentation has yielded mostly
197+
positive results. However, it does not do a good job of targeting end-users who
198+
have never visited the Rust issue tracker. We want to actively target community
199+
members who are not actively involved in the teams. In doing so, we should also

avoid increasing the busywork factor on teams.

It has been noted by multiple team members that even those who are *very*
203+
involved in the project (core team members, for example) frequently note that
204+
they also do not have a good sense of the current project goals and priorities.

So we are also not meeting the needs for team members to stay up to date with
