Biggest opportunity: Swap “feedback” for “commenting”. “feedback” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “commenting” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.7%
of downloads still active
At least 20 of 1.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

Very impressed by how easy it was to install and figure out. It probably took me longer to write this review than to get it working after looking at the settings page. Highly recommended – nice job!

This plugin does exactly what it says – nice and simple and a really useful way to collate feedback during development.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Patrick Boehner9mo ago
This is a great simple plugin for anyone who needs to handle change management on a website. There are a few things I would love to seen added or tweaked but otherwise this is a great tool to replace some of those expensive sass services.
