I have a feature request for nano, where is the best place to suggest?

First of all, I love nano and haven been using it for years - but there is
one bug-a-boo that still gets me no matter how much I try to remember: being
sure to open a system config file with root privleges to be sure that I can
save it after editing.

I would like to have nano, my favorite editor :), to help me handle my
permission problems.  As in, if I open a file that I can't edit - can there
be some sort of visual cue letting me know that I can't write out the file
or possibly not even let me either change just read/view or (extreme) not
even open the file without prompting an "are you sure want to continue
editing? you won't be able to save" or possibly even a nifty way to
temporarily gain privleges via a sudo save or something, anything, just so
long as I don't loose my trivial edits! :D

To be sure, it's trivial pain and probably not a trivial solution and
perhaps not even compaitible with the nano philosophy - but through sheer
number of experiences, I finally thought it worth the time to write down.

Just wanted to put in my thoughts and see if anyone knows where these should
go!

Thank you very much :)
