There is no upstream for what you want, idiot. You will have to create 
it yourself. Step out of that mode please.

The only ones who could want any kind of functionality like this are 
feature-rich environments like Ubuntu. This is precisely the place to 
discuss such things.

It has no place on sometyhing like Debian, for instance, for the most 
part. Unless you have already created something that works, then you can 
show it to them.

You seriously cannot step out of this lazy attitude of yours. I don't 
request features, I create them.

You are telling me to do stuff. Apparently you have an interest then in 
seeing it happen. Oh but you don't, so all of your remarks were 
insincere, as I thought they were. You don't want it, but you're telling 
me to create it. No, you're not, you're sending me into the woods so 
I'll never create it, if I follow your advice. You are insincere to 
begin with and you are insincere at the end, trying to instill doubt in 
other people using your "cheap rhetorical tricks" (I would call them 
tactics) as you've put so well (but perhaps mistakenly, because you 
accuse yourself with these words, they are not coming from me (not even 
once, I merely repeated your words without quotes there)). You don't 
have the mindset of a developer at all, so what are you even doing here?

Developers don't file feature requests. They create them. I honestly 
can't understand how anyone could have an attitude like you. Letting 
other people do your work for you. And then blaming me with such 
sentiments. Remarkable.

I just hope that everyone understands that I am not asking anyone to do 
work for me. I am merely discussing things, but discussion is often seen 
as a "feature request" and these people know only two modes of 
operation: not do anything, or beg for things.

So when you complain about the status quo they see it as begging and not 
as a way to move forward with what you want to create. And that's all I 
can say here. And I am sorry to offend, but a huge amount of energy in 
Linux is just expended at stopping people who want to create something 
great. Everything you want to do you will find jealous people who say 
you can't, or should not do it. Or should be doing something else that 
would render you compeletely ineffective or even dysfunctional. Because 
filing requests for stuff is simply not a functional way of achieving 
stuff, I hope people can understand.

And I am spending time debating people who only try to stop what I am 
doing. And I could also be spending that time on functional stuff, but 
many people are only interested in bringing other people down than doing 
anything good. Criticising people for what they are doing, instead for 
what they are not doing.

And it doesn't help much if everything you do is getting criticised. 
Meanwhile these same people never come up with anything else, they only 
break down what you do, but do not come up with any alternative that is 
actually creative and advancing in the slightest sense, no, you must be 
happy with what already is.

And then they propose the least-effective and least-creative form of 
moving forward that is "filing feature requests". I am sorry, but that 
just blew my hat off. All slaves to the wage, I guess...?
