TBH we read every feature request and if you look at most of the new features that get added in, you will find a direct line between those requests and implementation. What we do not do, is promise they will be implemented and give deadlines. Because, as we find as developers, some things are much harder to put in than they sound or appear to be when we look at them. Everything snowballs when it comes to adding something.
We are active, but we are each of us, total amateurs. We learn on the fly, the benefit is the skills we get (which we don't really use in our day jobs) and we enjoy working with each other and making things that people enjoy.
What we do appreciate is the huge support the community gives us while we do this. Back before I joined the development team, there was so much rage at just about anything the devs did. Now days, the community is much more supportive.
