Provide a mechanism for users to say thanks or provide positive feedback on features.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

The terminal currently provides a "feedback" menu item which links to the issue list here in GitHub. This allows users to report problems or request features but it's less clear how they can show appreciation for existing features, indicate what is working well or just say "thanks" to the developers!

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I suggest adding something similar to the old Visual Studio/Office "send a smile" options under the feedback menu. This could link to single github issue to collect comments or could create a new issue with a special tag.

Regardless of whether this goes anywhere, I just wanted to say thanks to the development team. When I first heard about a new terminal I couldn't really see the point but I'm now a convert. Favourite features are multiple tabs and the ability to individually colour the tab headers. Finally being able to use CTRL-C as "copy" in a powershell session is wonderful, even if it's taking me some time to train myself back into it! :-) Also very much looking forward to seeing where the command-pallette takes us - I can see lots of useful stuff being layered on top of this.

Thanks for the kind words 😄 The team always loves getting feedback, be it kudos or bug reports, so I very much appreciate your suggestion.

@cinnamon-msft Is there somewhere we can collect things like this? I don't necessarily want to make another place that people might file bugs (which we're prone to missing), but it might be nice to aggregate some of these things.

I'm hesitant to add another item to the dropdown list inside the app. However, we could pin a "positivity" issue to the top of the issues list, so clicking the Feedback button would still bring you to it.

What about doing what the WSL team did and add a Discussion tab to the repo?

GitHub Discussions is a beta feature. But I think the Terminal team can request early access.

Again WSL repo has it. So Terminal can too
