Topic on VisualEditor/Feedback

The feedback option (from the ? button) of both VE and (2017) New Wikitext Editor leads to "Visual Editor feedback". Is this intended? I gather the same team looks after both. If so, should the description for this board be modified slightly to reflect that?

Sorry about the delay in actually posting a response. Yes, you're correct that the Editing team is responsible for both the visual and wikitext (and also mobile) modes in Extension:VisualEditor; but no, the team is not watching the page. Feedback is dumped there because the decision to "physically uninstall" Flow from enwiki means that feedback can't be delivered here (i.e., to any Flow page, including this one). In practice, the team watches a few Flow pages here at mw.org for feedback, plus Phab tasks. I check WP:VEF every few months, and I trust that you and the other regulars will head to WP:VPT or ping me personally in case of emergency, but the situation with getting feedback from enwiki is pretty broken right now.

Sure, but I was talking about the description for this Structured Discussions board not w:en:WP:VEF.

I just tried editing it myself by got told "A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Block editing board descriptions for project and help pages".
