Off topic question/request if it's maybe possible and doable unless
I've missed something. Current RFC process is in short something like
writing a text document together with the implementation itself via a
pull request already and at the same time the discussion phase is
happening. After discussion there is a voting phase based on the
feedback from the comments. There, many times people who vote also
sometimes don't add reasons why they vote against something and they
stop the RFC from passing. RFC author, not only cannot implement it
but they also waste their time with the implementation.

Would it be a good thing if the RFC author would have a similar option
to get voting results feedback before starting to code (implementation
phase) on the RFC? So, they can see the results before the voting
phase and if the time investment is worth the trouble of adding a
feature or not.

Thank you.
