When you are making your redstone suggestions, please note that Java and Bedrock will not have the exact same the same redstone systems - this would require redoing redstone system completely on one platform or the other. The two systems are functionally different and are going to stay that way. Please be sure to tag your suggestions with (Java) or (Bedrock).

Redstone ore should emit a weak redstone signal when active

It would be cool if redstone ore supplied a small redstone signal when glowing, maybe around a power level of 4. This makes sense as redstone blocks, a more compact version of redstone, has a full redstone signal, so a still compact but less so version of redstone would have a weaker signal. What use would there be with this? - Longer pulse time than buttons - Temporary unlike levers - A long activation period, unlike observers next to redstone ore - Another reason for silk touch mining on redstone ore besides saving for a fortune pickaxe - A longer and more compact varient of pressure plates - Could be used as a long pulse extender if pistons pushing blocks onto them or pushing them activated them

Cool idea! The glowing effect of redstone ore isn't really used for much, and this could be a useful addition. Though, maybe you need a comparator to detect the signal? Or not. Either way, I like it.

Also, making it able to be triggered under carpet would make it a viable redstone component, that can only be triggered when walked over, unlike the sculk sensor, which can be detected in a wider radius.
