Reasons:

 * Too many ways to communicate.  There are already too many misuses
of ros-users/Answers/Trac, we don't need to complicate the flowchart
even more.
 * Every extra piece of infrastructure takes time to maintain --
maintenance, bug fixes, features requests, etc...  More infrastructure
== less time spent on new features for ROS.

If you want to request a feature, it really should be in a ticket
tracker -- or, even better, a patch should be attached.

For the same reasons as above. Enhancement tickets are the best place for smaller feature requests. Larger ones can start in SIGs or on ros-users.

One thing that could give the same functionality without overly complicating the workflow would be something like the VotePlugin for Trac (http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/VotePlugin). An alternative could be some guidelines like, if you are interested in an open enhancement ticket, add yourself to the CC list. That way, if we want to see which tickets are most desired, we could look for the tickets with the most people CC'd (with the added bonus that people that are interested are kept up to date via email and could test/comment as the ticket progresses).
