Gerne – hier ist die überarbeitete, etwas freundlichere und offenere Version für deinen Beitrag auf Englisch:

We really need the ability to **limit the number of participants** for events, as many of our events have **limited capacity**.

Currently, the event system does not allow us to:

- set a maximum number of participants,
- see **who signed up first** (no registration timestamps),
- manage a **waitlist** or notify people when a spot opens up.

We would find the following features very helpful:

1. A participant limit (cap) that prevents more users from signing up once full.
2. A **waitlist** for those who still want to attend after the event is full.
3. **Automatic notifications** when a spot becomes available.
4. Optional **timestamps** to see the order of sign-ups (useful for fair prioritization).

This would be incredibly useful for communities running in-person or capacity-limited events.

**Is anything like this already planned or in development?**  
Or are there any known workarounds for this use case?

Thanks so much in advance!
