Summary: RFE versus Bug group Feature Request
Initial Comment:
The Category is 'Source Forge Item Tracker'. The
possible bug is the redundancy of having both an RFE
(Request For Enhancement) list separate from the Bugs
list and a Feature Request Group within Bugs. Is this
intentional or an historical artifact that should be
removed in order to direct feature requests one place or
another.

Oh yes! Overall, we'd rather reduce the mushrooming backlog
of patch and bug reports than slam in new features, so we
want to keep feature requests out of the bug tracker. That's
why the RFE tracker was added.

In the meanwhile...
is it appropriate to recommend that requests go in RFE (as I
somewhat ignorantly and indirectly did today, see #960325)
or is this a "don't care" issue for the developers (that I should
ignore)?

Sorry, we can't do anything about this. Group names cannot
be deleted in SourceForge's system, and can't even be
renamed. So we'll have a "Feature Request" Group in the
Bugs tracker forever -- or unless SF changes their system.
When we first moved to SF, RFE trackers didn't exist. That's
why Bugs grew a Feature Request group to begin with.
Closing as 3rdParty, WontFix.
