He creates tons of them (both bug reports and enhancement requests). Probably a third of the reports in bugzilla come from him (maybe more; someone tallied it a few months back, but I don't remember the exact percentage). They can't possibly all be addressed. And many of his requests involve major changes that have no chance of happening. He'd stand a much better chance of getting some of his ideas implemented if he just focused on a few of them, but the sheer number of them means that there's no way that very many of them are going to be implemented, regardless of their merit. - Jonathan M Davis
