To request a feature, please file a bug report with a severity of "wishlist".
Please note that we cannot satisfy many feature requests. A feature request is much more likely to be implemented if it is requested by several users, and not too complicated. If you provide a good patch implementing a feature, that will help your chances too.
If you do provide a patch, please also note that a new feature involves adding more than just code. It also requires adding one or more regression tests, and updating the documentation (both the User Manual and the release notes in the NEWS file).
