I have no problems with any of your suggestions. Requests could certainly use some sorting out, user submitted veros (especially now that more people are getting into it) need to get more exposure and not get buried underneath a pile of requests and some pruning of existing information also wouldn't hurt.

What I might find interesting is hopefully get a project update on the vero requests. While "it's in the queue" is certainly a great answer and while I certainly have no right to make anyone doing the layouts feel like I'm intruding on their private time, a tiny extra bit of info could go a long way. Something along the lines of
- "I have fifteen layouts to do before this one"
- "won't be before xmas"
- "will get to it asap, I want one too"
- "this one just moved up the queue, I'll get it done next week"
- "sorry, no ETA on this one"

I'm sure noone would feel blown off even if you told them that their request is #100 in line as it at least provides some sort of time reference and gives an idea whether to start sourcing components or not, or whether it makes sense to wait for a layout to build that very pedal for your friend's birthday present or choose an existing pedal because the request isn't about to happen quickly.
