Have the Patron ID number viewable on the request page.
Currently, you can only see the patron's name, address, status, delivery methods on the patron tab in Borrowing. You have to use the "View User" button to access the patron's ID number. This would help eliminate a step when you need the ID number for accessing library accounts and fines in an ILS.

General request to have more fields available for customization. I placed this use-case in another similar idea: It would be great to be able to customize request layout with more patron information. Use case: some departments at the university have their own ILL but not their own document delivery, and we can fulfill requests from the local items, but must refer ILLs back to them. It's impossible to tell at a glance right now what sort of patron these are, and the departmental names are so finicky/changeable/abbreviated that we can't use routing rules or anything simple--it requires human eyes.
