Submit it to governance! As an active experiment in progressive decentralization, MakerDAO is constantly developing and implementing new processes to maintain and expand the Maker ecosystem. Anyone can participate in governing the Maker Protocol, but the fact that anyone *can* participate doesn't mean it's easy to navigate the process.
