I suppose it would be a good idea to report the most often asked and mentioned issues to:
help@kobobooks.com and/or:
http://getsatisfaction.com/kobo
As I scanned through this thread I noticed that a Kobo-Dev has answered in the thread a few times last year and most important issues have been mentioned by then. Anyway, I have compiled a quick "Top 10" at least to my eyes of most important and moste requested and mentioned features and issues... at getsatisfaction.com/kobo:

Feel free to report your urgent request yourself if it is not in my list
