I have already suggested exactly the same thing -- silence was the result.
I'm not showing any open feature request for that. It wouldn't be a high priority for me because I'm working on other things, but I guarantee it will never be considered unless it's logged in Sourceforge and multiple people comment on it there. And of course nothing's stopping anyone else from implementing it.
But I still think it's supurfluous since one can make a link to the user contribution page on one's user page to accomplish the same thing without further complicating the software.
