Etiquette for module feature requests I am relatively new to Drupal, and I am thinking of posting a feature request on Drupal.org for one of the Drupal modules that I'm using.  Before I do it, I wonder if there is any convention or etiquette that I should know about.

What is the convention for asking a feature request to the module developer? Is it bad to ask for the feature if it's a small thing that I might be able to write myself after some tinkering?
If you have the ability to write the patch, even if it's not "right", it can often encourage the developer to jump in and help. If you're not as comfortable writing the patch, you can also explicitly offer to test it.

Overall, just be polite, and be prepared to be patient. We're almost all volunteers!
