How and where can we request new WordPress hooks to be added?

I use the great Changelogger plugin, which adds plugin version history to the plugins page when there is an update. Although I would like it to, it doesn’t work from the updates page where you can update WordPress core, plugins, and themes.

How and where can a new hook for that page be requested so that the changelogs can be added to that page too?

  1. Things will move the quickest if you’re willing to do some work on your own.

    1. Take some time to write a patch with your proposed hook
    2. Post a ticket on the WordPress Trac explaining the hook, why it’s important, and linking to your patch file.
    3. Send a message to WP-Hackers explaining the same and referencing your Trac ticket.
    4. Attend the WP development chat on IRC on Thursday – bring the ticket up there as well and ask a core contributer to take a look at it.

    If your reasoning is well thought-out you might not need to do all 4 … but just asking for a patch won’t get you anywhere unless you’re willing (or know someone who is) to write it. Mentioning it in these three places (Trac, WP-Hackers, IRC) is the best way to involve a core developer and either get it committed to core or get the feedback you need to build a new patch.
