Hi Tom - These messages are generated by the IETF tools, managed by the tools team. Although I'm sure many of them are on this list, this list isn't the most optimal place to submit these requests. As described here: http://trac.tools.ietf.org/about , ideas for new tools or for refinement of current tools should be directed to to tools-discuss@xxxxxxxx. I hope this information is helpful, and encourage you to reach out to the tools team with your suggestions.
