There ya go :)
I'm not sure if markup is supported, so edit the wording near URLs
accordingly.
I tried wording the steps in a way that benefits the reporter, so
they'll seem less like "oh, more work".
Feature requests:
Before submitting a feature request, please follow these steps.
* Have you read the FAQ at <http://scummvm.org/faq/>? Your request may
already be addressed there. Specifically, DO NOT FILE REQUESTS ASKING TO
SUPPORT NEW GAMES [editor note: make this bold instead of uppercase if
markup is possible].
* The latest in-development release may already have the cool feature
you want! Please check by reading the latest NEWS file at
<http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/scummvm/scummvm/trunk/NEWS?view=markup>,
or try it out for yourself at <link to daily build>.
* Someone may have already requested the feature! Search the feature
request database to see if this is the case.
Finally, please report each request separately; do not file multiple
feature requests on the same ticket. (Otherwise, it gets difficult to
track the status of each one).
Thanks for using ScummVM!

* Does the patch apply against the latest Subversion revision?
