That reminds me of other feature-requests I wanted to follow. So I would like to ask what the correct way would be for feature-requests? As far as I was told, the developers-list should be used. But what if no one is responding on the feature-request? How should we 'track' that request, see its status? Every open-source software development I know, uses the same tool for bugs and requests. Why else would the bug-tracker then have a 'feature-request' category? Maybe not *every* user should add feature-requests to the tracker and should start a discussion on developers-list first, but then, when decided to actually confirm this request, it can be added to the tracker ???
