Well, this is open source ... you don't get to request new features; you get to implement them, so if you need something that SCSI or the FC transport doesn't provide, you just add it (rather than coding either a fix or an enhancement for your driver alone).
However, you're quite lucky. So far, as James Smart said, I haven't seen you ask for any features that we don't either provide or are in process of agreeing the implementation of.
