I do not understand what you mean.

Do you mean visible in the Sage Developers Guide? Since I think it's
quite important, putting part of it in bold might be a good idea.

Or do you mean more visible on sage-devel? Perhaps a subject line of
"Can we upgrade $package to a non-stable release?" might be a good
idea.

I'd not really considered that. I guess a vote would be a good idea,
though I think the main thing is that it is discussed

True. But if person A creates the ticket, person B reviews it and the
release manager finds it passes, it may end up getting merged.
