And all they would be required is that they acknowledge all the people in the forums that helped make the final product. Not the team at WotC but the users in the forums. I mean, there are loads of new bloodlines and martial archetypes, as well as new pacts for warlocks from peoples homebrew. but they don't have much when it comes to unified balancing and review.   Finally, I think that WotC should start official threads with the things that are published in the Unearthed Arcana for official responses. Things like how super vague the changling ability is and like how the Aarakocra are broke off the bat with the huge flying speed except in dungeon based games.

The folks at WotC are plenty reachable through social media if any particular fan just has to have some input from them, and WotC has a process of releasing the UA articles, giving the community some time, and then using surveys to collect feedback on those articles in a way they can actually use (which a string of forum replies is not).
