Can we make suggestions for JOSM in trac too?

some wish lists are:

1. Searchable Preset combos eg if I type Hospital it finds the relevant preset

2.  Locate Layer on map? ie sometimes I load a area in JOSM but need to zoom around to 
find it can I right click on layer and "find on map"

3. Not a JOSM but Potlatch can we have more presets to help placing POI's as is much 
faster than JOSM (at the momemt) unless JOSM can import POIs

So perhaps can JOSM import a CSV list of POIs


Should I submit these to Trac?

Thanks
