I wanna say a thank to the one who did the auto-order of the tab order. It's so simply and done the job that otherwise would take time from us to be done.
Another thing in this line is to set the FocusControl of a TLabel to the closer TWinControl.

That doesn't is a TLabel.

It was a patch from Fl?vio Etrusco. See:

Patches for other improvements are welcome.

Is there any way, besides the unclear way of try to colect some coments in the mailing list about the acceptance of a specific improment? Of course, no one wants to throw away his work.

Mailing list is a good place. If your idea is not good then it will be noticed early on and you don't need to make useless code. Good GUI design is especially difficult because it is always subjective, based on people's opinions, habits and preferences.
About your idea of TLabel + the closest TWinControl, Taborder dialog may not be a good place for it. Anchor editor would be better but it is already full of stuff and it is meant for all controls. Your feature is only for TLabel.
Maybe best would be a popup menu item in designer when right clicking a label.

I know the mailing list is the standard today, in many places not just here. But is unclear in his lack of formated data, maybe something like the bug tracker to discuss inprovements in which that info like the one you just sended about the TLabel and FocusControl could be added as notes. Would be much more clear.

I still think the mailing list is better now because you only have an idea and you don't know how it should be implemented. When you have a clear plan then you can open a feature request in bug tracker (and preferably attach a patch :)
Discussions in bug tracker should be about fixing the reported bug, not about abstract ideas.
The mailing list threads are archived automatically. You can always provide a link for them later.
