The PR database is primarily intended for reports of bugs in FreeBSD,
not "new features I'd like to see that will take someone dozens or
hundreds of hours to implement".  While there is a "wish-list"
category in GNATS, a realistic submitter will not expect action on
such items just because they submit a PR.

Finally, yes, FreeBSD is a community project, not a mysterious closed
system where you submit your requests into the black box of developers
and out pops your answer as if by magic.  So it's not at all
unreasonable that submitters of difficult or unrealistic requests be
invited to participate in the process of solving them.
