Hi :) The bug-report system is good for suggesting new ideas too. This is also true in many other projects too. In the LibreOffice's bug-tracker it used to be that one of the drop-downs (severity, urgency or whatever) had "feature request" somewhere in it's options.
Bug-reports look a lot like emails, in that they have a "Subject-line" and a "main message" section, and that you can add more information to them later through additional posts. So for a lot of projects it is enough to write "[feature request]" in the subject-line and i think the LibreOffice devs would recognise that too. So if you can't find the option in the drop-downs or are shy about using them then just putting something like that in the subject-line is plenty good enough. It may even help to put it in even if you did manage to use the drop-downs. Many other projects have many other ways of putting forwards new suggestions but i don't think any have found a perfect system and all have advantages and disadvantages. "Easy Hacks" The Document Foundation were brilliant in introducing the "Easy Hacks" tag/category so that new devs can try their hand at writing code for the LibreOffice project. This is great for; 1. experienced devs who just haven't worked with LibreOffice before, so that they can quickly show off and/or find out about "in-house styles" (I can't think what the coding equivalent is but there is surely something like that). 2. for noobish devs who have only just learned how to code and need real-world experience. For this 2nd option TDF tried to set-up a mentoring system. I'm not sure if it really "took off" but even if it didn't it is likely that other devs might be willing (or even happy) to give their opinions about the quality of the code and hopefully give ideas about "best practice" or neat ideas worth trying, or 'rules' used within the project. So, don't worry about putting forwards ideas. Even if they don't get a great reception initially they may later prove to grab someone's interest or/and lead on to other things.
