(And I hope you agree that fixing bugs is more important than > adding features.) I think that is what priority:wish is for. :) You can iirc filter for priority>wish. And yes, I agree that there should no feature request popup in the bugtracker which are unrealistic. Discuss with other users -> file a request. In that order. There are also wrong or newbie bugreports, but the overall quality is acceptable. I think if we can make the discuss-first-report-later policy clear to the users, the same would work for feature requests.
