It was not entirely rhetorical question.
First, code speak louder than words. A feature for which there exist
implementation (and documentation, and tests) has much more chance being
accepted / merged in, than purely theoretical discussion on user
interface. Though the latter is needed too, of course.
Second, writing proof of concept implementation, or at least trying
to write documentation and/or test for new feature or new behavior
help to flesh out ideas, to give them definite shape.
But I know that not everybody is a programmer, and from those not all
are proficient in C (at least for this case), Perl, Python or shell
scripting, and with Git API to implement new feature.
