This is off-topic for this list. And it's really almost off-topic for
fedora-devel, too.

If you want to put in a feature request for an application look at that
application's mailing lists and bugzilla.

Fedora uses the Upstream so asking fedora-test or fedora-devel about new
features is not the best place.
