This is important to keep in mind if you plan to update Leap exclusive package which depends on e.g. a library from SUSE Linux Enterprise. This will be the most common type of request according to my current experience from SP3.
As a practical note, I've always been told to focus on the "Why?" and "What?" not the "How?" when requesting features. In other words, one such request might be "Provide underlying libraries to support an upgrade to KDE 99.42 KDE as currently in Leap 15.3 consumes a number of libraries Leap inherits from SLES 15 SP3. We plan on updating Leap 15.4 to KDE 99.42 which will require newer versions of several of these, including · libqt5 > 9.19 · libruffle17 > 47.11 : and possibly others." And probably https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/message/... Hope this helps - file away! :-) Gerald PS: Note how I am not talking about upgrading those libraries, just providing, even if the outcome may just that ... an upgrade. That is not the need, however.
