Best self-hosted platform for community consensus on feature priorities? (programming.dev)

Building a small social platform. I want users to post complaints/ideas, upvote the top issues, and have devs tackle the top 3, transparently with tags, milestones or kanban to show what stage each issue is at.

Need one self-hosted FOSS tool (or two that integrate well) for both discussion and voting/prioritization.

What's your recommended stack? Zulip, Fider, Discourse, Forgejo...? Something else?

Thanks!

This sounds like a horrible way for project management, but you do you :)
