They do provide progress on most bug reports, but there is complete radio silence for feature requests. I briefly explained this here:
Most feature requests have no replies on them, and even if they do, they’re not from the Staff. Some times, there isn’t even a like from a Staff member, so there is no way to know whether the Staff has seen it, has been rejected, approved, or what. IK that they have a lot going on, but this can’t happen with pretty much every feature request, right?
