Thanks.  That's the URL I lost track of.  Bookmarked this time.

I took a look and TIP 3 says:

	*	*	*	*	*
The following keywords are proposed (by Donald G. Porter
<mailto:dg...@ca...>) but not currently supported:
...
Supporter

    A TCT member that is supporting this TIP. May occur multiple times,
    once per supporter
	*	*	*	*	*

I proposed the Supported field so that *any* member of the Tcl community
could register their support for a TIP (a "me too!" if you will).  I
do not want to limit it to TCT members.

This is a feature I've found sorely missing in the current Ajuba bug/RFE
database.  I've often wanted to express that a bug fix or feature requested
by someone else is also very important to me, without submitting a duplicate
request.

This header field would give TCT members an idea of which TIPs have the most
widespread or vocal support, which gives guidance about which TIPs should
have priority in bringing them to a vote.
