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.

The way I handle this is to configure radarr/sonarr correctly and not accept unknown or questionable sources. I.e., cam releases and the like. Then I just request the upcoming release in Overseerr as usual and once they become available as WEB-DL/Rip/DB/Remux in 2160p (or 1080p) it is handled automatically and just shows up in my library. Overseerr then emails me when said content is actually downloaded and radarr/sonarr/lidarr/etc sends me push notifications to my phone when everything from podcasts to blockbuster movies are added to my library (using a selfhosted NTFY instance).

Please send notification when available on digital/PVOD. Not everyone watches every movie in the theater. This way, when the movie is released on digital, users gets a notification. As you may know, these digital release dates are perfect on TMDB. Then again when the movie is available in the server, another regular notification which is already available in overseerr. I have family and friends constantly asking me for "when will movie X be available?". With these digital release date notifications, I can just say it will be available when the movie is digitally released.
