Yeah, I think we could be a little more positive in how we phrase it. Perhaps ust focus on what filing a feature request does achieve. The value is primarily about illustrating & recording a use case to the project, and providing a place to discuss it and guage interest from others. There should be no expectation that anyone will work on it, but seeing the feature request might pique someone's interest enough that they want to work on it. I think probably the big vs small distinction doesn't really matter much.
