(Where to ask for) Feature request: Allways specify what axis to touch off

When you click "Touch off" to change an offset, axis has the choice for the axis to offset selected based on the last move from the keyboard, or the last offset you actually entered.
I would prefer this choice to be empty when I press "Touch off":
I am working on a program that is a set of 2 parts that have a time consuming setup.
I very often find myself where I have touched off the wrong axis, requiring me to start from the beginning, ruining an hours work or more.
Could this be changed at all, and where would it be appropriate to check/ask if this is a feature that could be added to linuxcnc?

We used to have a feature request page when it was hosted on Sourceforge, but I have not found an equivalent on Github.
You can change this in your own installation by editing axis.py:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Mechanical_Turk
But I think you would also need to edit the Tcl that defines the dialog boxes to add a field for Axis Select, so it is less trivial than I thought it would be when I started to answer this query.
