This seems more like a feature that would be in Radarr/Sonarr instead of Overseerr since Overseerr deals with the requests of users while Radarr/Sonarr deal with the actual movies/shows themselves.

A simple wish list would be my suggestion for accommodating this, and other similar uses. For example, I would like to request a movie that is in theatres, but I don't want the system to act on that request until it is available on Blu-ray/streaming. Of course, right now I simply wait (but frequently forget) or I add a reminder to my general task manager.

Since a module for Issues is already available, it would seem to me that this kind of feature could be made by adapting the same interface and database schema for generalized tasks/wishlists.

That said, I'm sure there are much more important features and improvements to focus on, and presumably not enough developers and/or time for everything. I will endeavor to tinker with this myself, and if I produce anything promising, I'll post back here with it.
