We don't have the resources to go through and thoroughly evaluate each feature request. A couple of developers will read each one and if it resonates with them personally they will do something about it. Otherwise they leave it for another developer to address later. Some numbers. We have had 2899 feature requests submitted. Out of these, 605 are still open. 1134 have been implemented. 705 rejected because they weren't valid features. 322 rejected as "Won't fix" for various reasons. The rest are in various other states such as Duplicate, and awaiting feedback. So feature requests do get processed eventually. -Rasmus
