AEIOU, the systems I'm talking about don't list delivery dates publicly. What makes platforms like User Voice nice is that as you type in your suggestion, it will look up and suggest similar suggestions. Also it gives each user 10 points for voting. You can give 1, 2, or 3 votes for each suggestion. If you use up your 10 points, you'll need to decrease points from other votes. These helps weight the items to show what users care most about. It also allows comments and discussion for each request.
In terms of developer updates, the developer can mark items as "under consideration", and "implemented" (it think there may be something like "working on it" as well). No dates are given unless the developer foolishly provides dates in the comments section for the request.
The advantages of such a platform over traditional forms is that it helps users find similar requests; both users and developers can easily see which are the most desired features; and developers can give noncommittal updates if they desire.
