Thanks for the update to the forums organization - I appreciate the new focus on MVE.
That said, I wish there was some emphasis on attracting new vendors in your plans.
The backend of the shop is becoming painfully dated compared to many other popular multivendor environments and makes supporting and encouraging engagement with the shop difficult. Most complain that it is far too time consuming to add new products, understand shipping, etc.
I would be happy to outline some ideas for improvements based on our three years of running our MVE.

Case in point...
Shipping methods are under admin menu...
Shipping properties under product listing....Here you could also offer Free Shipping...
While listing a product you don't have an ability to pick one or two method you want to offer regardless of all defined shipping methods....
Is it obvious for a vendor how to offer Free shipping in the US and only charge for international shipping? As an Admin i can figure it out yes - but now I have to teach all of my vendors?
If you buy simtech's TaxJar addon, now sales tax fields show up under Add-on tab..
It seems like someone decided to make these things purposely complicated
