The mastodon developers are us.

It's open source so yeah...my PRS are part of the community. And so are yours. And projects like GoToSocial make it seemless if someone wants to implement the same protocol in a slightly different way.

The mastodon devs decide what to merge, though. If they don't see the value of a feature, they won't merge it.

If you want to extend the protocol, sure, go ahead. But you'll be alone on it, since no one outside of your protocol island can use that specific feature.
