Yes, I'll most likely create a request tracker in not so long. I know 
ready-to-use packages exist, but I really do not like any of these, and 
it's far to much work for me to maintain these (I don't want to go to a 
web-page to administrate my stuff) and I don't think they generally 
make a very good job at providing a transparent list of requests (with 
status) to other users.

So I'm thinking something super simple where the user just fills out a 
summary and description and I'll do a reject/accept on the item when I 
feel like it. No need to require users to create accounts etc.

Then we can always let it evolve from there, like allow other users to 
add comments/votes, I may add an ETA (in form of a version number, but 
I'll generally like to avoid that) etc. -- and maybe I'll end up with 
Bugzilla, but let's pray I don't ;)
