Where can I send feature request?
I might be daft and it's staring me in the eyes, but where would I send a feature request?
I'm doing some silly prints with layer by layer changes in temperature and speed. It gets annoying to type custom gcode time and time again so I'm wondering if adding a drop down menu to "add custom gcode" option would be a good idea. Just to include standard settings, changes for speed, feed, temp etc.

Prusa Developers inhabit the GitHub areas.
there are separate GitHub sets for the various Prusa products and software/firmware lines

Are you making different changes at different layers, or following a pattern? You can use custom gcode before or after each layer change under Printer Settings. This example is used for printing temperature towers with varying temps at different heights:
;BEFORE_LAYER_CHANGE
; layer_z is height of current layer in mm
G92 E0.0
;[layer_z]
{if layer_z <= 10}M104 S235
{elsif layer_z <= 20}M104 S230
{elsif layer_z <= 30}M104 S225
{elsif layer_z <= 40}M104 S220
{elsif layer_z <= 50}M104 S215
{elsif layer_z <= 60}M104 S210
{elsif layer_z <= 70}M104 S205
{elsif layer_z <= 80}M104 S200
{elsif layer_z <= 90}M104 S195
{elsif layer_z <= 100}M104 S190
{elsif layer_z <= 110}M104 S185
{endif}
Can you explain a little more about how you're selecting layers and what gcode you're embedding? PrusaSlicer already includes the ability to insert color changes into a sliced model. I suspect this could be fairly easily modified to insert additional gcode if you're not doing anything too elaborate.

Below is pretty much the extend of code modification. It's added via right click on layer control button. This is in conjunction with filament change layers. All I'm thinking about is attaching some drop downs to that popup with most often used codes.
