Well, the reality is that there's a very limited number of ways in which
new features get implemented in QGIS:

1. Write it yourself. (Requires knowledge of QGIS source and c++)

2. Pay someone else to write it for you (requires money)

3. Wait for someone else to write/pay for it (requires patience and hope
that your request is something someone else really needs)

4. Try to convince someone to donate their work/free time to do it for you
(requires super levels of negotiating and finding the magic words to say to
developers on irc/email/etc, or a project which is sufficiently interesting
to attract a developer's attention regardless.)

I don't think there's any other ways code gets added to QGIS.

(Note that I'm *not* discounting all the non development volunteer/paid
QGIS work, I'm just referring to how features can get added.)

Given this, I think it's fine to direct people who request stuff to the
most direct and reliable way to make changes happen - option 2 above. Just
saying "file a feature request" alone isn't all that helpful (it's
effectively options 3 or 4 above). It's also very helpful to also let them
know how they can make these changes happen quickly.
