Well, this is up to you and Joe (since you guys do 90% of the new features). When you add a new feature to lilypond, in addition to adding a regtest, please add a snippet that demonstrates the feature to the appropriate subdir of input/tolsr/ . (this snippet might be an exact copy of the regtest)My gripe with it is that we're using the repository as a form of communication. I think you will get more useful input if you use email discussions for communication. If you position tolsr as dumping ground, that is what you will get: dumped stuff, i.e. garbage.
ie if you add a new page spacing feature, it would go in input/tolsr/spacing/(I'll create all the subdirs of input/tolsr/ in a few days; "spacing" currently doesn't exist)
When LSR uses the version of lilypond that includes those features (ie the next stable release), everything in input/tolsr/ will be moved into LSR and deleted from git. Alternately, we could just use the NEWS.tely for all such features -- and strictly enforce the "no new features without a NEWS item, even if there's a regtest".
The whole idea behind the tolsr "dumping ground" was to make it easier for developers to document new features.
