I'm currently creating a system to manage feature requests and votes, and I'll consider your ideas. I would even offer to manage the funding and development, but that would be a service I'd expect to be paid for (rather minimal, but...). Others could offer that service, too - I'll be careful to not monopolize any sort of Bacula support. Currently, I think that I will present my feature request / voting system in the next few days, and that it should be usable in a few weeks.
