First send an RFC to the list.  That Savannah item is just a request from
one person.

Start a new thread, and put the full proposal in your email, not just a URL
(do NOT require people to click), and give reasons.  And ask if anyone else
is interested in this feedback in the title bar.

It is unclear what exactly you are proposing.  What I know would be useful
to me is: an automatic placement of an anchor at the current cursor position
whenever I start a search (^W/^Q).  I don't see how placing an anchor at
every found occurrence is useful, as ^W/^Q have history and you can quickly
find those occurrences again.  And automatic placement of anchors at the
locations of linter results...  If you really think this is useful, you could
make it for yourself and use it, and when it proves itself useful in practice,
you could propose it on the list.
