I don't think so. send-pr(1) allows the following classes:
>Class: <[ sw-bug | doc-bug | change-request ] (one line)>
And we have no other tracking mechanism for users' change requests.
There are frequent requests on the general mailing lists to send-pr
things so they don't get lost. It also allows non-committers (such
as myself) to formally submit new features.

I agree that mis-classifying feature requests as bugs (which Patrick
has done) causes problems, but this should be handled via a mechanism
to re-classify the PR. I don't see a problem with having a large
number of `new feature requests' outstanding - as long as they can be
identified as such.
