Filing a bug really won't make a differense, because it is an obvious omission. 
Any feature request for obvious features will just add unnecessary work. The
definition of obvious isn't "obvious" so we won't delete feature requests, but
they might not actually help the project. It's not lack of imagination that
slows progress.  

We do, however, want bug reports for things that are implemented or seems
to be implemented, but do not work quite right.

And, oh, patches for new features and bug fixes, including patches for obvious 
features. :)
