Not all feature requests can be implemented. Why?

Keeping things light

Some issues here are feature requests or "is it possible to do this and that" requests.

One of the primary goal of YOURLS is to achieve balance between features and efficiency. In other words, to keep it as light as possible while being powerful. In other words, to keep away from bloating core with features that won't be used by many.

So, yes, feature requests are often closed with WontFix.

There a plugin API for this

Most of the time, feature that are requested won't be implemented into core, but are easily implementable with a plugin. That's the whole point of the plugin API that has been introduced in YOURLS.

If an issue is closed with WontFix and PossibleWithAPlugin, all you have to do now is get that plugin coded.

Find a plugin coder

If you can't code yourself and really want that feature implemented, feel free to submit your idea to the YOURLS forums. Someone there may be interested in giving you a hand and coding with/for you.

Another option is to head towards freelancer sites (getacoder.com, elance.com, etc...) and post your project. You should get very affordable quotes.

Another option, that includes quality, full YOURLS code knowledge and future-proof coding, is to ask me (Ozh, ozh at ozh dot org) for a quote. Depending on the project and my free time, I may be able to help you.
