Did you consider that they might only be wasting your time? I haven’t ever felt any frustration at any of the things you named.

Both are standard features on GMail, which beats your sample size of 1.

And I didn't care about them there either.
But you know, you could send them the feature requests - they actually implemented something I asked for on mobile, so at least one team is listening.
I’m not sure how sample size one beats sample size one.
Did you interview all gmail users to ask them if they would miss those features if they weren’t there?
I would be very surprised if the people working on creating and implementing the new protocol have anything to do with the team that would fix the bugs you mention.

If they don't personally, then as a matter of fact they manage them.
Sorry to be 'that guy'. I like Fastmail but maybe they could fix some of the irritating bugs we keep asking for resolutions on before embarking on fun protocol invention missions. Two killers:
(1) When forwarding an email there is no link between the forwarded email and the original thread (TOTAL TIME WASTER), when reported they "don't consider it a bug [because of SMTP ID handling in existing daemons]". Missing the point here so hard guys!
(2) When creating a new filter it doesn't have a checkbox to include matching emails. This means you have to manually go replicate the search again, for consistency, to get things where they should be.
Frustrated at lack of response from reporting these as a commercial user. Inventing new protocols should not be higher priority than fundamental annoyances that are wasting customer time NOW.
