We agree that it would be good if Emacs were improved in some of the areas you
mentioned.

Yes, there is a bug and enhancement-request reporting system, of sorts.
You can file a bug using `M-x report-emacs-bug' or (menu) Help > Send Bug
Report.
The Emacs manual (`C-h r'), node `Bugs'.
You can examine existing bug reports and their status at the bug-report Web
site:
http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=emacs
This system is what it is. If you have suggestions for improving it, I believe
that the contact mail address for that is bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.

You can see the assessed severity of reported bugs. But Emacs releases under
development generally do not have a planned release date until late in the
development cycle.
I'm not an authority on this - someone please correct me if some of the above
info is not correct.
