The add-on in the XF2 Dev Docs for creating a "Featured Threads" / "Portal" is actually a pretty nice add-on and I think it could be a solution for some people looking to migrate to XF2 and need/want a "portal" type page and/or "featured threads".
The suggestion is to cleanup the code (to get rid of the "demo" prefixes everywhere) and to release it under the generic "XenForo" account along with the rest of the XF resources. By posting under the generic account it could be something you guys (the actual XF team) could work on anonymously as needed as time allows without anybody in particular getting bugged for new features.
Besides getting more exposure to people who might be interested in it, having it as a released add-on may spur 3rd party devs to work on accompanying add-ons to enhance it (like doing some widgets for the 'featured threads' and/or doing guides to add stuff to the portal page and/or helping out with answering questions that will inevitably be posted).
