I think that part of the problem is that many players start with presenting an idea to the community/Devs/Tom in order to get feedback, improve the idea and see if it is something even worth considering. It do not think that it is terribly clear when or how to move from the "what do you think of this idea" stage to the "we talked about it and here is the feature I would like to request" stage. I could be wrong and this is only something that I do not grasp but I have a feeling that it might be a common thing. While I have made plenty of suggestions and have presented a few ideas, I have never made a feature request per say.
