Hi Chloé,

For bugs and feature requests, you should file a ticket on Trac:
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/

Once you've filed a ticket, you can attach a patch (such as the one
here) and it'll be considered for addition to core in the future. These
tickets also allow for better discussion than here on the mailing list.
