When you submit a request, please re-read it once to avoid a couple of mistakes (you can and should use this as a checklist):
This should report that you're up-to-date. About 20% of the reports we receive are already fixed, but people are using outdated versions. This goes for feature requests as well.
Make sure that someone has not already opened the issue you're trying to open. Search at the top of the window or at Issues. If there is an issue, feel free to write something along the lines of "This affects me as well, with version 2015.01.01. Here is some more information on the issue: ...". While some issues may be old, a new post into them often spurs rapid activity.
Before requesting a new feature, please have a quick peek at the list of supported options. Many feature requests are for features that actually exist already! Please, absolutely do show off your work in the issue report and detail how the existing similar options do not solve your problem.
Some of our users seem to think there is a limit of issues they can or should open. There is no limit of issues they can or should open. While it may seem appealing to be able to dump all your issues into one ticket, that means that someone who solves one of your issues cannot mark the issue as closed. Typically, reporting a bunch of issues leads to the ticket lingering since nobody wants to attack that behemoth, until someone mercifully splits the issue into multiple ones.
Only post features that you (or an incapable friend you can personally talk to) require. Do not post features because they seem like a good idea. If they are really useful, they will be requested by someone who requires them.
It may sound strange, but some bug reports we receive are completely unrelated to bandcamp-dl and relate to a different or even the reporter's own application. Please make sure that you are actually using bandcamp-dl. If you are using a UI for bandcamp-dl, report the bug to the maintainer of the actual application providing the UI. On the other hand, if your UI for bandcamp-dl fails in some way you believe is related to bandcamp-dl, by all means, go ahead and report the bug.
