Steven R. Loomis hinted this in response to a demand I’d posted on Trac:

I don’t understand how SurveyTool would get these hashtags to work, but you may post this as a feature
request. For newcomers, here is how to send feedback for processing by the CLDR Technical Committee:

1. Set your personal data in Preferences:
https://unicode.org/cldr/trac/prefs

2. Submit any report, new data not having their locale ID in CLDR yet, feature requests:
https://unicode.org/cldr/trac/newticket

Don’t worry if you’re prompted to do some arithmetics. With your personal data in a cookie, that is less likely 
to happen. Make sure however not to exceed the maximum number of 5 external links per post. Internal links
are unlimited, using     ticket:123456     syntax or alternatives as shown in:
https://unicode.org/cldr/trac/wiki/WikiFormatting

What we can already do is to use XML comments in the files we’re working on, and there we may add hashtags.
However SurveyTool won’t import them, only register our votes. Which is already a huge deal saving us much time.
