If I recall it was Erich Gamma who first equated Bugzilla
reports with love letters. I think that’s a healthy attitude for Eclipse
projects, since any popular Eclipse project gets inundated with bugs. As
an example, here’s a chart of open “bugs” against
Mylyn. Naturally we’d have no hope of staying on top of them
without Mylyn, which is a weirdly self-referential state to be in, since the
moment we add a new feature that helps with bug triage, we get a dozen new bugs
on that.

Anyway, welcome to Eclipse ;).
Here, code matters, not what bugzilla looks like.

That is exactly the point of 'enhancement' items. Despite
the name, bugzilla isn't always about bugs, it's about issues; and missing
features are certainly issues that can be tracked.
