Well, in some regards we are bound by what Sourceforge offers, so
"Feature Request" and "Bug Report" are rather fixed, at least on the
Project Page. Personally I think "Request" more problematic than
"Feature", because it's not like I'm *requesting* that some feature
must be added, it's just a cool idea I had, and I'd like to discuss
it, when submitting it to the FR page.

There already are a number of feature wishes, bug reports and even
patches in the Trackers. I think, it had a good start already, and I
do hope, this will get more use in the future.
