Sounds very good! I think that the mail-selection is a good feature. 
Could you mail it? i can see if i get the feedback for 4.3 online before 
4.4 release :). A thing i'd like to know if people oppose to using the 
node-engine for feedback:

I made something similar, using nodes as feedback. The reason for this 
is that you can use taxonomy for a category. The module should then 
select, according to categories where to send the mail to.
Another good thing, IMO, is that feedback is saved online. Problems are: 
search etc.

I still beleive that the feedback module can offer *one* method of 
anti-spam-botting. not per sé *the* method. Its up to admins if they 
want to use a form or addresses (in combination with hiding the link) 
for feedback.

The reason for opening this discussion, is that i wanted to see if there 
were pro's and con's on using this method. and if there were better ones.
