Which actually brings up another point: in many cases even a simple
comment by a core developer: "yes this feature is desirable"
might be of considerable value as it's likely to increase chances that some 
other
developer will decide to spend time on the patch....


Similarly, some bug reports are for border cases. A confirmation by a
core developer: "yes, that needs fixing" might encourage someone
else to submit a patch...

I'd also suggest that request for test cases/docs comes after
(or together with) suggestion that a feature is desirable in the first
place.
