Hi!
> However, is there a predictable process for picking some requests over others?
Yes. Creating and RFC and discussing it on the list raises chance of
resolution (one way or another) of the request.
For smaller feature that does not warrant RFC, pull request on github
and note on internals would help too.
In general, if the person is willing to invest some time in getting the
feature considered and implemented - including explaining why it is a
good idea, etc. on the list - the chances for it are greater than if he
limits his commitment to putting it into the bug DB and letting whoever
needs it to pick it up. With the latter scenario it still can happen,
but the former gives it a better chance.

That depends on the request ;)
