- In code: `home-assistant/feature-requests`
- Also: feature requests

Feature requests go to the [feature request discussions](https://github.com/orgs/home-assistant/discussions), not to the issues of a repository: issues are for problems. The product team of the [Open Home Foundation](https://contributors.home-assistant.io/glossary/open-home-foundation/) follows them, and turns some into [roadmap opportunities](https://contributors.home-assistant.io/glossary/opportunity/).
