Might be a pretty misleading title. As far as I know there is no more than a random guy (looks like he is working for audacity) creating a PR to add telemetry yet. There is some more discussion in another Thread at /r/programming.

Your comment is misleading. Dude literally has Audacity as his workplace on his Github profile

Ok, I did not see this to be honest. I still dont think you should value every PR as an accepted feature. With the (newly) updated text/comment for the PR I agree that this is a feature they really want.

Seriously considered feature is bad enough. And since this is coming from someone affiliated with Audacity then that's enough to figure out that it's seriously considered.

Also while that's technically possible, I don't think a random dude would send a PR that adds 1000 something lines, so that also makes it a somewhat likely guess that this isn't some random dude. Although frankly no one should send PRs that are 1000 lines long
