The usefulness of that feature is highly subjective, but I find it 
rather useful myself.

All requests and bug reports go into Bugzilla at bugs.eclipse.org, 
and each bug is able to be voted on by anyone with an account.  What 
gets done is a matter of the priorities of the people who are 
actually doing the work, whether that means consulting the votes or 
not.  Nothing stops you from implementing and contributing a feature 
you want to see happen, or even requesting it, but I don't see any 
bug report or feature requests by your posting email address.
