For Feature Requests, I agree that we should disable them all together
on bugsweb, and add a page for redirecting the user to proper channels
like you mentioned.

Besides this, I would like some more statuses for the bug tracker, or
maybe rather auto reply/quick fixes instead of having to manually
copy/paste over and over again. An example could be:

"This extension ($ext) is no longer being actively maintained (Status:
Suspended)"

Also we got quick fixes for "Try a snapshot (5.4)" and even 5.5!
