Bug Description

The reporting of a feature-request as wishlist works quite well, but since Ubuntu Brainstorm is down, launchpad is the place to report wishes too.

It should be wossible to mark your own bug as a feature-request in a more intuitive way:

there should be an option that changes a bug into a feature request that would:

1.
change the title and breadcrumb:

Report a bug

Ubuntu >> Bugs >> Report a bug about Ubuntu

this should change to :

Report a feature-request

Ubuntu >> Bugs >> Report a feature-request for Ubuntu

2.
the tag "Wishlist" should be added automatically in this case

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1321214/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.

We nowadays discourage any use of the Wishlist importance. A feature can be just as important to users as a bug is, so they should use the normal Low/Medium/High/Critical importances. Launchpad itself uses the "feature" tag to indicate feature requests.

Changed in launchpad:
status:	Confirmed → Won't Fix

please reopen this.

I wasn't refering to the *Wishlist importance*. Instead I was refering to the *interface design*:

A user should not feel like *filing a bug* when he is in fact *requesting a feature* or has a wish that is NOT a bug.
The interface should provide a button so you can request a feature instead of filing a bug.

Sure: Internally they will be handled the same, but *on the outside* they should just look different.

So a solution here would be a simple change of the Headline, when someone requests a feature.
