I'm wondering if we'd have less to do if it was harder to enter an 
Enhancement Request?

:)


Most "user" folks will probably continue to simply mention these on the 
user's list, and that would not be a bad thing.  Because otherwise they 
have to become a member of "Kicad-Developers" to add to "Bugs".  This 
then puts them within reach of the developer's mailing list.  After a 
while I fear the nature of the developer's mailing list could drift away 
from actual development discussions, towards that of purely support.


So until we get more experience, I would be inclined to not publish the 
"Enhancement Request" storage mechanism in the Bug database.  Things 
often get clear with more experience.
