Is there a place where I can request a feature? I looked here and at GitHub but didn't see anything obvious. Some developers have stuff spread over all types of communities such as Reddit, Steemit, Twitter, Discord and Slack. Looking under BIONC's "web resources" I see subreddit, LinkedIn and Facebook listed but there is no description of what that media is to be used for or its purpose.

It's under the header of Social Media, so taking an educated guess it's where you can chat about BOINC (or complain, or ask for help)

Been two weeks and no one commented on my wish. Maybe not the place any developers look or more likely no interest.

Had another wish but this time I implemented it. I have boinc "client" code I built and tested on Linux that seems to work. Where can I discuss this "feature" I added. I have a GitHub account and can put the few files I changed on it but I think the developers might want to make recommendations first.

You asked where you can request a feature.

The developers don't read this forum, no. Or maybe once in a very blue moon. Or when someone points out a post, and even then I wouldn't hold my breath. We never said they read this forum. Or any project forum for that matter.
Your best bet is always at Github, make a new issue on https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues and use the Label option to name it Feature Request. Perhaps that someone looks at it then, but even that's not guaranteed.

Thanks Jord. I did not mean to insinuate that no developers ever read the forums. I have interacted in the past with devs on this and other forums.
I posted my suggestion as a "feature" where you recommended

https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/3337

Hope someone comments on it especially if there is a side effect for what I was doing.

[edit] I commented on another issue that was first brought up here but no one seems to be aware of or want to resolve
