Hi :)
To make a feature request just post as a bug-report
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Bug_Report
BUT one of the drop-downs has an option "Feature request" or "wish-list" to 
make it clear exactly what it is.

Also it's possible for a non-Dan to join the design team and work on this sort 
of thing.  
Regards from
Tom :)
