There is some precedent for doing so, as was mentioned in the github issue, still it is a bit controversial and discussion when adding such a feature should be expected.

I believe the issue is more about the unwillingness to take community feedback seriously at all when it doesn't coincide with the opinions already held by the developers. Which brings us back full circle to the discussion of the privileged position of the default editor on openstreetmap.org and the related transparency (aka who is holding the purse strings) and the non-existent community control or even just control by the OSMF.
