Ah, I guess so. Well, can't blame them since the issue tracker is overflowing with well over 5000 open issues, though a part of it has probably to-do with open duplicates, which is likely up to the fact that there's not enough manpower to properly look through and analyze each and every one.
They state pretty clearly that there is a proposals repository for this now though:
